The year 2019 witnessed the rampant spread of COVID-19, causing severe disruption worldwide. Taiwan was not exempt from its impact and suffered significant losses in the insurance industry due to the massive outbreak of COVID-19. Therefore, it is imperative to take preventive measures against future large-scale infectious disease epidemics. This study focuses on individuals within insurance companies who possess a profound understanding of COVID-19-related matters, information, and epidemic prevention-related insurance, aiming to explore the impact of COVID-19 on the Taiwanese insurance industry and the future trends of epidemic prevention-related insurance. Based on in-depth interviews, the research findings are summarized and analyzed as follows: 1. The main impact of COVID-19 on the Taiwanese insurance industry is a high volume of claims and a large number of policies sold within a short period. 2. Enhancing consumers' willingness to purchase epidemic prevention-related insurance relies primarily on raising their risk awareness. 3. It is not recommended to sell epidemic prevention-related insurance as a standalone product; instead, it can be offered as a supplementary rider to health insurance policies. Insurance serves as a means for individuals to manage uncertainties and risks in the future, aiming to safeguard a normal life ahead. Faced with the risk of a resurgence of large-scale infectious diseases, if epidemic prevention-related insurance products can provide better protection or increase consumers' risk awareness, it will undoubtedly boost their willingness to purchase. The interview results of this study provide insights and recommendations for marketing professionals in the insurance industry, helping insurance companies understand consumer demands for purchasing epidemic prevention-related products and enabling them to formulate more effective marketing strategies or provide assistance and reference for future designs of new epidemic prevention products.
