Pet Insurance Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.45% from 2025 to 2032 – Exactitude Consultancy

The Global Pet Insurance market size was valued at USD 19.22 billion in 2024

Luton, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The pet insurance market is experiencing significant growth, driven by factors such as increasing pet populations, higher insurance adoption in developing regions, rising veterinary costs, major company initiatives, and the humanization of pets. According to NAPHIA’s 2024 State of the Industry report, there are now 6.25 million insured pets in North America, a 16.6% increase from 5.36 million in 2022.

The rising prevalence of diseases in pets and the growing trend of pet adoption are expected to further fuel market demand. Pet insurance helps mitigate costs associated with serious medical conditions, making it increasingly essential as veterinary services become more advanced and expensive. Innovations like online platforms and virtual care programs are also enhancing connections between pet owners and care providers, supporting the growth of the insurance sector.

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge in pet ownership, with many first-time pet owners expressing interest in insurance. According to Pet plan, 47% of respondents acquired pets during the pandemic, driven by remote work and the desire for companionship. As veterinary care costs rise—spinal surgeries can exceed USD 13,000—pet insurance is becoming crucial. NAPHIA’s report highlights a significant rise in claims, with the highest recorded claim exceeding USD 59,000 for a cat with a severe medical condition, demonstrating the vital role of insurance in managing these expenses.

Market Overview and Dynamics

The pet insurance sector is marked by significant innovation driven by advancements in veterinary medicine and a variety of insurance options tailored for different animal species. The rising trend of treating pets as family members, along with increased pet adoptions, has intensified the demand for insurance. As treatment options for pets expand, healthcare costs are rising, prompting owners to seek insurance to alleviate these expenses. Industry players are adapting by modifying existing plans and developing new ones to meet specific needs.

While pet insurance primarily covers dogs and cats, it also includes horses and exotic animals. There is a common misconception that pet insurance functions like human health insurance; however, it is classified as property insurance, meaning reimbursement occurs after the owner submits a claim following care.

The increase in dog rescue facilities and rehabilitation services for sick pets has further stimulated market growth. Rising veterinary costs, coupled with expensive medical procedures and medications, are driving demand for insurance. The global pet insurance market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.5%, reaching an estimated $50 billion by 2034.

Regional Expansion and Market Strategies

Growth within the pet insurance market involves extending coverage to new geographical areas, driven by increased pet ownership, greater health awareness, and financial protection against unforeseen veterinary expenses. For instance, in August 2024, Trupanion expanded its operations in Europe by launching a pet medical insurance plan in Switzerland and Germany.

Market players are implementing various strategic initiatives, such as introducing new policies, forming partnerships, and pursuing mergers and acquisitions. Notably, JAB Holding Company acquired Pumpkin in April 2023 to strengthen its position in the rapidly expanding sector.

Competitive Landscape and Regulatory Framework

The entry of larger companies into the pet insurance market is expected to increase competition. For example, in December 2023, Embrace Pet Insurance insured approximately 600,000 pets nationwide. As the value of insurance becomes more recognized, new providers with unique business models are emerging.

Each region has its regulatory framework governing the insurance industry. In the U.S., the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) oversees compliance and consumer protection. In 2023, the NAIC adopted the Pet Insurance Model Act, addressing key aspects such as pre-existing conditions and pet wellness programs.

Coverage Insights

The accident and illness segment dominated the market, capturing about 85% of the share in 2024, driven by rising veterinary costs, a growing pet population, and increased awareness of insurance value. This segment is expected to maintain robust growth as policies cover various conditions, from acute and chronic diseases to medications and diagnostic tests.

Conversely, liability insurance policies are anticipated to grow the fastest between 2025 and 2030, particularly in countries where pet owners are required to have such coverage. For instance, Luko provides dog liability insurance across several European nations.

Animal Insights

In 2024, dogs accounted for 60% of the market share due to high adoption rates. According to the American Pet Products Association, approximately 66% of U.S. households own at least one pet, with dogs comprising about 80% of the insured pet population.

The segment covering horses, small mammals, and birds is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, spurred by increased pet adoption and the expansion of insurance offerings. For example, Agria introduced a horse insurance plan covering veterinary fees up to €10,000, and Petco partnered with Nationwide Pet Insurance in January 2024 to launch a health insurance plan for various animals.

Sales Channel Insights

Conversely, the segment encompassing animal care centers, veterinary clinics, and similar entities is projected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. This growth is fueled by providers forming multi-faceted partnerships to enhance pet benefits and expand market reach.

This insurance product, developed in collaboration with Ignite and Covéa, provides comprehensive lifetime coverage for dog and cat owners in the UK, offering up to £9,000 (approximately $11,500) in annual vet fees for accidents, illnesses, dental treatment, and third-party liability.
