Why the Insurance Industry Must Accelerate Digital Transformation

The global insurance industry — including Thailand — is undergoing rapid transformation driven by intense competition and rising customer expectations for fast, transparent, personalized, and omnichannel services. Meanwhile, insurance organizations continue to face challenges from legacy systems, manual workflows, and complex processes.

Research shows that Thailand has increasingly adopted Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve underwriting, pricing, risk assessment, and claims management. AI also enhances fraud detection, predictive analytics, and personalized policy design — all resulting in higher customer satisfaction and greater operational efficiency.

The AI market in Thailand’s insurance sector is projected to grow from USD 4.1 billion in 2025 to USD 14.7 billion by 2031, reflecting a 23.6% annual growth rate. This highlights the strong demand for automation and continuous innovation.

Global surveys indicate that most insurance companies can reduce operational costs by up to 10% through AI-driven efficiency improvements, while 47% experience increased revenue from enhanced customer engagement. Such numbers show that investing in new technology does more than cut costs — it creates new business opportunities.

For modern insurers, digital transformation is no longer optional — it is essential. Beryl 8 Plus introduces a new approach to Insurance Service Offering by integrating AI, Automation, and Cloud Platforms to accelerate the full transition to digital insurance.
