Life & Annuity carriers are experiencing unprecedented demand for retirement income products. In the U.S. alone, annuity sales have nearly doubled since 2020, reaching a record $434 billion last year.
But for many carriers, this rising tide is masking structural legacy constraints. Inefficiencies are currently being absorbed rather than exposed. Cost structures that would normally pressure margins are being diluted by volume.
That model works in a surge. It becomes a margin cliff the moment demand normalizes. This cycle is highlighting the critical difference between growth and scaling.
In this latest paper from Andersen Consulting (linked below,) we explore the frictions holding carriers back and how organizations can move beyond linear growth models. We discuss building repeatable operating capabilities that compound over time, using AI deliberately as a business transformation lever to convert demand into sustainable, profitable performance.
