With the development of the social economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, the role of insurance in society has become increasingly important. The insurance industry’s growth is not in line with social demands. Insufficient insurance capacity or a mismatch between insurance products and demands in specific regions or industries can lead to increased social risks and unprotected interests.
