Are You Ready for 2025? Here are Top 7 Trends in Contents Claims Automation

As we move closer to 2025, insurers have an opportunity to set themselves apart by embracing these trends. To succeed in the future of contents claims automation, here’s what insurers must consider.

The Future of Contents Claims Automation in the Nordics: Key Trends for 2025 and Beyond

As we look ahead to 2025, the world of contents claims automation in the Nordics is heading into a new era – and it’s not insurers, but customers, who are pushing this transformation forward. Over the past few years, digitization has taken a massive leap, and the pandemic acted as a major catalyst, making people of all ages comfortable with digital processes. Now, with Gen Z and Millennials at the helm, there’s an even stronger demand for flexibility, speed, and seamless digital experiences in insurance.

The rise of new mobility models, coupled with the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters and other disruptions, is pushing carriers to reassess their strategies. Additionally, advancements in distribution methods and the use of artificial intelligence could drive innovation, enabling the industry to transition toward long-term, profitable growth.

1. AI-Driven Claims: Speed Meets Precision

AI is transforming claims processing, making it faster, more accurate, and less reliant on human intervention. By 2025, AI will go from a support tool to the primary driver of claims automation, flagging potential fraud, assessing damages, and delivering real-time, instant claim decisions. Customers get their payouts faster, and insurers save big on costs.

Based on results from an Insurance Innovators’ survey of over 150 insurance executives showed;

“95% of senior insurance executives surveyed agreed the point of claim is where insurers have the greatest opportunity to win loyalty, but also the greatest risk of losing it.”

2. Self-Service Claims: Empowering Customers to Handle It All

When a full 60% of insurance customers out there say that insurers are falling short of their customer expectations… you know something needs to be fixed.

Customers today want the power to manage claims on their own terms. Self-service claims let customers log incidents, upload documents, and track claims directly from their smartphones. Insurers embracing self-service tools will meet customer demand for convenience while reducing admin workloads—a win-win.

3. IoT for Real-Time Responses

IoT devices like smart home sensors and wearables are taking insurance to the next level. These devices offer real-time data that can trigger immediate responses from insurers, providing faster damage assessments and creating a more transparent process. IoT-powered claims allow for “no-touch claims” processing, where incidents are handled digitally with minimal human interaction. 

4. Automating Larger and More Complex Claims in Response to Climate Change

Natural disasters and associated economic losses have significantly increased in the past two decades as climate patterns have shifted. With rising climate-related incidents (think floods, storms, fires), insurers are faced with high-complexity claims requiring rapid, multi-department coordination. AI and advanced analytics will become essential tools in managing these large-scale claims efficiently. Automation will ensure that customers get quicker support, even in high-stakes scenarios.

5. Advanced Fraud Detection

Fraud detection has always been critical in insurance, and digital claims processing supercharges this with AI-powered analytics. By spotting suspicious patterns early, insurers can save on costly fraud cases. This proactive fraud detection also benefits customers, who enjoy fairer premiums as fraud risks go down.

6. Green Claims Solutions for Sustainable Insurance

In the Nordics, sustainability is a core value, and insurers are finding ways to align claims with eco-friendly practices. Digital documentation and paperless processes are the start, but the industry is moving towards sustainable vendors and repair options. By 2025, green claims will be the norm, resonating with customers and supporting the planet.

7. Hyper-Personalization: Insurance Tailored Just for You

With a treasure trove of customer data from IoT, AI, and other digital sources, insurers can deliver hyper-personalized policies and claims experiences. Advanced data and analytics capabilities in support of pricing sophistication and underwriting excellence are becoming table stakes for leading carriers across the globe. Carriers are doubling down on gen AI to reimagine the value chain end to end, developing lean organizations, establishing effective operations, and offering personalized experiences to customers.

Customers want tailored insurance—usage-based models, personalized premiums, and claims that reflect their lifestyles. Hyper-personalization is set to be the industry standard, meeting modern customers’ need for flexibility and relevance.

Why Claims Automation Matters More Than Ever

Let’s face it: we’re all spoiled by speed. Between the pandemic and the rise of digital everything, people don’t just want fast service – they demand it. Insurers are feeling the heat, as customer expectations for quick, transparent, and convenient claims processing are at an all-time high.

Customers are setting the pace, demanding fast, digital, and personalized claims. Insurers who don’t catch up risk losing them to competitors or new disruptors. To meet the demand, insurers need to embrace automation, personalization, and flexibility, shifting from transactional interactions to seamless, customer-first experiences.

If that’s not enough – according to McKinsey insurers can cut up to 30% of their operational costs by automating their claims process.
