Our take
On average, Europeans spend over €2,000 a person per year on insurance cover, driving a market with an annual volume of €1.31 trillion. Alongside this, the growth of e-commerce in recent years has transformed it into a market now estimated to be worth over $1.5 trillion. Combine these two areas, and you get the market which Simplesurance is aiming to dominate: e-commerce insurance.
In short, Simplesurance gives online shoppers a way to insure their online purchases at the point of sale. It appears at checkout, making it easier for consumers to access insurance than if they went to external platforms like Endsleigh or ProtectYourBubble. On the other hand, Simplesurance undercuts much of the market, with its services generally coming in cheaper than most direct competitors, including suppliers themselves.
Point-of-sale insurance is set to become the norm in many e-commerce outlets. Backed by big investors, Simplesurance's main aim is to continue its expansion in Europe, where it operates in over 30 countries, and potentially beyond.
