Peer2peer Insurance Market Study 2016 – Research and Markets

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Peer2peer Insurance" report to their offering.

Peer to peer insurance is a new form of technology driven by a social insurance model. Some platforms are well thought out, others are by techie dreamers with no understanding of regulation, law or insurance. Most peer-to- peer platforms are - or wrongly claim to be - neither broker nor insurer, so how do they work and how to they make money? Why is a mutual promise to pay not insurance? How does Blockchain technology and Bitcoin fit into this mix?

The basis is creating a series of separate pools, unconnected to each other, so each pool only pays its claims, with none of the traditional cross subsidisation of traditional insurance. Some require payment but others are just promises to pay. The regulation in most countries is often unclear and several regulators are

already looking at the implications.

Platforms seek to cover business, cars, homes, technology, health, life, liability, cycles, marriage, pets, relocation, income protection, hospital cash and deductibles.

This report looks at the background, potential, problems, and regulation, as well as profiles of every known peer-to-peer platform.
