The new InsurTech100 list recognizes the world’s most innovative technology solution providers that address the digital transformation challenges in insurance.
The InsurTech (insurance technology) sector has experienced explosive growth in the last two years as the huge increase in the use of digital channels and the level of customer expectations due to COVID-19 restrictions has accelerated the need for innovation.
On the current trajectory, the global InsurTech market is projected to reach $100bn within the next five years.
This year’s process to identify the 100 InsurTech innovation leaders was more competitive than ever. A panel of analysts and industry experts voted from a longlist of over 1,400 companies produced by FinTech Global, a specialist research firm.
InsurTechs recognized for innovative use of technology
The finalists were recognized for their innovative use of technology to solve a significant industry problem, enhance the customer experience or generate efficiency improvements across the insurance value chain.
A range of factors was considered to make the final selection including:
- Industry significance of the problem being solved
- Growth, in terms of capital raised, revenue, customer traction
- Innovation of technology solution
- Potential cost savings, efficiency improvement, impact on the value chain and/or revenue enhancements generated for clients
- How important is it for insurance executives to know about this company?
Insurance remains a critical market within the global economy. The industry’s total direct written premiums (DWP) reached $7 trillion in 2021, or 7.2% of global GDP.
As traditional competitors seek to maintain market share, they are focusing on providing targeted products, improving customer onboarding processes and deepening their relationships with existing customers.
These initiatives tend to take the form of investments, partnerships, and acquisitions. While these approaches may help improve incumbents’ competitive posture, they also drive opportunities for startups to help legacy providers fill the gaps in their offerings.
Consumers and businesses increasingly expect insurance cover to be offered via a range of digital and offline channels, and insurers that fail to keep up with the latest technologies and innovation will be less competitive and lose market share.

According to InsurTech Sector Overview, investment in the insurtech space in the 2023 increased by 8.3% from the opening quarter of the year to $2.41 bn, as a rise in the average deal size masked a decline in the overall number of deals.
nsurTech ecosystem has met a very interesting juncture; at a macro-level, be swept up in the downgrading of public value, or represent a viable investment alternative to an investor’s portfolio that is otherwise being dragged into generalised bearishness, and at a micro-level; either capitalise on the availability of lower-priced assets or struggle to survive.
The global market saw overall growth of 15.4%, even with the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 grew by 6.9%, and 2022 grew by 18.7%.
2023, however, to date has shrunk by 8.6%. Over that same time period, (known) global investments into InsurTechs recorded a growth rate of 52% in 2019, a 12% growth rate in 2020 and an incredible growth rate of 122% in 2021.
