Equity Insurance Group is becoming an increasingly important part of Equity Group's growth, with its three businesses spanning life, general and health insurance.

In H1 2026, the Group recorded KSh6.4 billion in gross written premiums, up 24% year-on-year, while profit before tax rose 34% to KSh1.25 billion.

The Life business generated KSh4.5 billion in premiums, General Insurance contributed KSh0.6 billion, while Health Insurance generated KSh1.2 billion. With 22.6 million life policies issued to date and 79% of policies distributed digitally, insurance is increasingly becoming a meaningful third pillar of growth alongside Equity's banking and payments businesses.

The future of footwear may not be manufactured in bulk.

It may be fabricated around you.

That is what makes this shift so interesting to me.

3D-printed footwear is moving from novelty to a real industrial model, with market forecasts pointing to rapid growth over the next decade. At the same time, brands and manufacturers are using additive manufacturing, digital design, and custom-fit workflows to shorten development cycles and make more personalized products viable.

What is new here is not just the printer.

It is the system around it:

→ scan the foot
→ model the fit digitally
→ print the part on demand
→ produce closer to the customer

That matters.

Because once footwear becomes data-driven and locally fabricated, several things change fast:

→ fit gets more personal
→ prototyping gets faster
→ waste drops because you do not overproduce
→ inventory pressure falls because you do not need to guess demand the same way

To me, that is the bigger signal.

This is not just about a better sneaker.

It is about a different manufacturing logic.

Formlabs notes that 3D printing already enables customized orthotics with better biomechanical precision, lower material waste, and simpler digital workflows. McKinsey has also pointed to digitization and 3D design as a way to shorten design cycles and reduce sampling iterations in apparel and footwear.

And once that logic matures, the use cases get much bigger:

→ custom athletic footwear built from gait and pressure data
→ hospitals producing orthotics faster and closer to the patient
→ micro-factories making products on demand instead of stocking shelves
→ footwear designed for one body, not an average body

That is why I think this matters now.

The question is no longer whether personalized fabrication is possible.

It is whether brands move fast enough before customers start expecting every product to fit like it was made only for them.

Would you actually wear a shoe fabricated around your own biometric data?
