Cost Saving Opportunities in the Travel Insurance Market

The adoption of bundling of services and value-added services helps travel insurance suppliers to retain their customer base and increase their market share. However, the adoption depends on the nature of the business between buyers and suppliers, as well as past the engagement history and maturity of the category.


Technavio procurement experts have segmented the cost saving opportunities in the travel insurance market into the following value-enhancement opportunities:

  • Adoption of technology
  • Supplier Competition
  • Adoption of negotiation strategies
  • Optimization of procurement practices
  • Bundling of services

Adoption of technology saving aspects

Wearable technology includes sensors that are placed inside the baggage of users. These sensors are connected to tracking devices worn by users. This helps users track the location of their baggage during transit and claim.

SaaS (News - Alert) is a software licensing and delivery model in which a third-party provider hosts applications and makes it available to customers through cloud computing.

Optimization of procurement practices saving aspects

Buyers need to assess costs associated with the coverage provided on different aspects, such as medical costs and AD&D to identify a cost-effective travel insurance package. Buyers should maintain a list of qualified suppliers that can cater to their requirements. This will not only help them save time on selection of suppliers but also reduce the time required to sort through a long and exhaustive list.

Bundling of services saving aspects

Buyers seek suppliers that can provide bundled services (i.e., core products bundled with value-added services such as trip protection, including death, sickness, or airline strikes, and trip cancelation) to make the policies relevant to customers' requirements.

The bundled services provided to baby boomers include medical and emergency assistance along with adventure sports coverage like skydiving or skiing. Additionally, the service providers offer coverage to financially unstable persons below 25 years of age who are accompanying the baby boomers.
