The findings show Germany reflecting a balanced and pragmatic approach to technology adoption, with a Technology Sentiment Index (TSI) score of 63, close to the global average, signaling steady confidence alongside a strong focus on transparency, value, and control.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn Germany, connected technology is widely recognized as beneficial, with 77 percent of consumers saying it has improved their lives. At the same time, adoption is shaped by clear expectations\u2014consumers want technology that is transparent in pricing, reliable in performance, and aligned with their need for control over how it is used and supported.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs connected devices become more central to daily activities, expectations for seamless experiences continue to rise. Even common issues\u2014such as connectivity, Wi-Fi pairing, or storage limitations\u2014can interrupt everyday tasks, reinforcing the importance of consistent performance and effective support.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn this environment, customizable protection is emerging as a key differentiator. German consumers show strong interest in flexible solutions, with 82 percent saying customizable protection increases their likelihood of purchasing and keeping a plan, and 80 percent saying it enhances their perception of the brand. This reflects a clear preference for protection that is transparent, relevant, and tailored to individual needs\u2014particularly as AI-enabled devices drive greater complexity.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cConnected technology is becoming more central to everyday life globally, but what matters most now is how well these experiences adapt to individual needs \u2014 balancing innovation with simplicity, trust, and reliability,\u201d said <b>Federico Bunge, President, International at Assurant<\/b>. \u201cIn Germany, adoption is shaped by a strong preference for control and clarity, with consumers expecting dependable performance and straightforward, self-directed experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nGerman consumers are also highly independent in managing their technology. Many prefer to resolve issues themselves or through accessible resources such as online videos or peer guidance, highlighting demand for straightforward, efficient self-service support that enables control and minimizes disruption.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cGermany&#8217;s results highlight the priorities shaping connected living across Europe\u2014transparency, value, and control.
