U.S. Consumer Survey: A Connected-Devices Insurance Roadmap

More than half of consumers using connected devices are interested in earning rewards for sharing data with their carriers: Aite Group report

Boston, MA (May 29, 2019) – Insurance carriers’ customers are purchasing and using connected devices in ever-increasing numbers and generating personal information about themselves and their lives. These connected devices and the data they generate constitute a hidden gem for insurance carriers, which are in search of new ways to engage with customers and maximize retention. But can carriers influence consumers’ decision to share their data? Aite Group’s new report, U.S. Consumer Survey: A Connected-Devices Insurance Roadmap, offers fresh insights into consumers’ willingness to share data with their carriers in exchange for a range of rewards.

“Insurance carriers looking for consumers accustomed to using connected devices and ready to talk about how to use that data will find millions of opportunities to engage with their customers in a customized, highly relevant, and timely manner,” states Greg Donaldson, senior analyst at Aite Group.

This report provides a baseline of U.S. consumers’ use of connected devices and offers fresh insights into consumers’ willingness to share that data with their carriers in exchange for a range of rewards. It will be of interest to insurance companies that want to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships with existing customers.
