It seems that everyone is always in a rush to declare the next big thing, and the InsurTech space is no different. According to some recent declarations I've seen, embedded insurance is the "new affinity". The only problem with this take is that traditional affinity is still going strong, and embedded insurance is anything but new. 

The world was turned upside down a year ago when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. It went into lockdown, consumers remained quarantined in their homes, and businesses were forced to adapt and change in order to remain above water. As with most other industries, insurance wasn’t immune to the impacts of COVID-19—carriers, agents, and brokers all needed to drastically change their business models in order to continue to meet customer expectations, retain current clients, and attract new ones. Here are 4 trends we have seen emerge from the pandemic that the insurance industry will continue to embrace post-pandemic.

But today, digital delivery is reshaping that, and proving it can be much bigger than we thought.
