Introduction

The global P&C insurance BPO market continues to grow with a maturing service provider landscape. It registered 12% growth by revenue, crossing US$900 million mark in 2014. The market is quite concentrated as North America and United Kingdom together account for more than 80% of the revenue. Further, the former leads the adoption, accounting for nearly half of the global revenue. Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe have also witnessed an increase in contractual activity.

The scope of contracts is expanding beyond transactional work to include more complex, judgment-intensive work such as analytics, risk management, actuarial, and regulatory reporting. Robotics Process Automation (RPA) and automation based on cognitive tools have expanded the extent of cost savings and efficiencies achievable with BPO, and are being increasingly accepted in the industry. Traditional pricing models, such as FTE-based and fixed-fee, are increasingly being replaced by outcome-based pricing models.

With increasing adoption, impact of technology, and evolving pricing models, P&C insurance BPO is expected to evolve rapidly in terms of scale, scope, and cost efficiency.
