Abstract: The behaviour of consumers towards insurance has changed considerably
as the level of financial awareness has risen and the digital channels are
rapidly growing. This paper is an analytic study of the drivers of consumer
behaviour in insuring products and the contribution of digital platforms to
consumer purchase decisions. The study is analytical and descriptive and
follows second-hand and observational data, without using questionnaire-based
research and survey-based research. The frequency and percentage distributions
were used to analyse a sample of 110 consumer cases, which determined the
patterns concerning the demographic characteristics, factors that influence
decisions, the types of insurance products they prefer and how the digital
channels influence the decisions. The results indicate that the affordability
of premiums and the coverage of different policies are the strongest
determinants in the process of picking an insurance but the health and life
insurance are the most popular products. The role of the insurance websites and
the online aggregator platforms in the decision-making process of the consumers
is dominant, which means that the dependence on organized and informative
digital resources increases. The research findings are that the digital channels
are supplementary to the established methods of distributing insurance, and
they have become a part of the modern consumer decision-making processes in the
insurance market.
