The conversion rate is notably high when these products are offered as add-ons during digital transactions . This suggests that consumers are increasingly receptive to purchasing insurance as part of a broader digital experience.
Growth in Gadget and Travel Insurance
The company is observing consistent growth in digital penetration specifically within its gadget insurance and travel insurance lines. This growth is not viewed as a short-term trend but rather as a reflection of evolving consumer behavior .
Factors Driving Digital Insurance Adoption
Several factors are contributing to the increasing adoption of digital insurance in Indonesia:
- Maturing Digital Integration: Insurance products are becoming more seamlessly integrated into digital shopping processes, making policy purchases a natural part of online transactions.
- Growth of the Digital Middle Class: An expanding digital middle class is driving demand for microinsurance products that offer convenience and affordability.
- Increased Collaboration: Partnerships between insurance companies and marketplaces, as well as other digital platforms, are expanding reach and accessibility.
Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr Boost Digital Sales
GEGI also reported an increase in performance on digital channels during the Ramadan period and leading up to Eid al-Fitr 2026, driven by increased digital transactions, community mobility, and online shopping trends . Historically, this period sees a surge in travel and electronic/gadget insurance sales .
