In developed nations, standard diagnosis coding systems to maintain human medical records have evolved, simplifying the reimbursement claim process. However, there is a lack of standardized pet health codes since most veterinary records are free text. These limitations may hamper industry development to a certain extent. Despite these challenges, the rising life expectancy of pets will likely boost the requirement for animal insurance to meet their medical needs.
 

High zoonotic disease prevalence to increase reliance on accident & illness policy coverage

Pet insurance market from the accident & illness policy coverage segment is anticipated to cross USD 15.5 billion by 2032, owing to the comprehensive nature of these policies. Since a majority of accidents and illnesses are covered, owners of young pets are showing increasing preference for this form of policy coverage. The prevalence of zoonotic diseases has also surged significantly. For example, dog-mediated rabies, a disease that claims the lives of several people in Africa every year, remains endemic in affected economies, contributing to the growing demand for pet insurance.
