The future of insurance starts by listening to people
ReMark publishes its 9th Global Consumer Study (GCS). This year, the annual survey covers 12,728 respondents across 22 markets. In an uncertain climate riddled with extreme weather events, rising energy prices, soaring inflation and geopolitical instabilities, the new GCS looks at insurance as a tool of consumer empowerment.
From improving insurance literacy and providing data-optimised consumer experiences to embracing tech responsibly, ReMark calls on the industry to put people at the heart of the insurance experience.
