Summary

The global pet insurance market size reached USD 8.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 21.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing steady growth driven by increased awareness of veterinary care costs, rising pet ownership, growing demand for comprehensive coverage, advancements in medical treatments for pets, and a heightened focus on pet well-being.

Pet Insurance Market Trends:
Rising veterinary costs
One of the primary factors driving the market is the consistent and substantial increase in veterinary costs. Based on findings by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), in the first year of owning a pet, pet parents spend anywhere between $3,221 to $1,904. For instance, routine medical costs for dogs and cats are around $225 and $160 per year, respectively, including vaccines, wellness visits, etc. Also, Preventative medication like heartworm and flea/tick prevention costs around $185 per year for dogs and $140 per year for cats. Pet insurance can be an effective way to help offset vet visit costs.
As advancements in veterinary medicine led to more sophisticated and effective treatments for pets, the associated expenses have also escalated. Pet owners are increasingly willing to invest in the well-being of their animals, and insurance serves as a financial safety net, ensuring that they can afford the best possible care without being burdened by exorbitant veterinary bills. According to an article in Forbes ADVISOR, the average monthly premium for accident and illness pet insurance in the US is about $53 for month for dogs, and about $32 per month for cats. This is further supporting the pet insurance market statistics across the globe. According to an article published in 2023 in The Times of India, there is an increase in the pet ownership especially after the pandemic, with an average spending of INR 4500-INR 5000 per month in India.
Growing pet ownership and humanization trend
The rise in pet ownership, coupled with the prevailing trend of humanizing pets, has significantly influenced the market. According to an article in USA Today, the average annual cost of owning a dog is $376 a month or $ 4,512 a year, as per a recent survey of 1,000 US dog owners. The initial medical costs for a new dog, such as for vaccines and spaying and neutering, can run from dollar fifty to dollar 500. As more individuals’ welcome pets into their homes, the emotional attachment to these animals intensifies. Pet owners increasingly seek ways to provide the best possible healthcare for their furry companions, mirroring the way they approach their own health needs. According to an article in Forbes ADVISOR, 90.5 million homes own a pet, or 70% of U.S. households, with more households owning dogs than cats. The number of US households that own pets has increased from 73 million in 2010 to 87 million in 2022 which is further creating a positive pet insurance market outlook.
Significant Technological Advancements and Customization
The rising technological advancement is acting as a major growth-inducing factor in the market. Insurers are leveraging technology to streamline processes, and hence customer experiences, and provide more personalized and customizable coverage options. Digital platforms enable seamless claims processing, and data analytics help insurers better understand customer needs and preferences. The ability to tailor insurance plans to individual pets’ health profiles and the inclusion of wellness programs as part of coverage highlights the industry’s commitment to adapting to the evolving expectations of pet owners. For instance, on 8th April 2024, HDFC ERGO General Insurance launched a comprehensive insurance policy for pet dogs and cats called paws and claws. Crafted to offer a safety net for pet owners facing the financial burden of their pets’ medical needs, this policy offers coverage for illness, injuries, and surgeries. This is further expected to fuel the pet insurance market revenue.
