In 2019, Risk & Regulatory Consulting, LLC authored a study sponsored by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) that covered the extent of the use of Big Data or Data Analytics to enhance insurer operations, including sales, distribution, product development, underwriting, and claim management within various markets within the Asia-Pacific region where the SOA has a strong and growing member population. The Asia-Pacific markets in focus primarily included Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand; however, other markets were considered as well. The research was completed using approaches that included a review of technical specifics from relevant literature along with interviews of individual experts on the use of Big Data within the Asia-Pacific region. The results of the research were analyzed and summarized in a final report published by the SOA (https://www.soa.org/resources
