Pet Insurance Market

To understand key trends  

Pet adoptions significantly increased during and post COVID-19 pandemic. The emotional impact of isolation during lockdowns resulted in pet owners getting dependent on their pets for companionship, more like a family member, instead of being viewed as property. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, people who worked remotely were eight times as likely to acquire a pet. 
 

According to AVMA Pet Ownership and Demographics Sourcebook published in 2022, the percentage of US households that own at least one dog increased from 38% in 2016 to 45% between 2016 and 2020 but had levelled off by 2022. On the other hand, the percentage of households that own at least one cat increased slightly between 2016 and 2020, from 25% to 26%, and then increased to 29% in 2022.
 

Increasing cost of veterinary services is anticipated to amplify the pet insurance market growth

Consumer spending on dogs and cats between 2020 and 2022 increased across the board. According to AVMA Pet Ownership and Demographics Sourcebook published in 2022, the mean annual expenditures on veterinary visits for households with one dog increased more than 60% from USD 224 in 2020 to USD 362 in 2022. For households with cats, mean annual expenditures on veterinary visits were USD 189 in 2020 and USD 321 in 2022, almost a 70% increase. The mean cost of an annual wellness visit for a dog and a cat was, respectively, USD 168 and USD 141 in 2016, USD 195 and USD 133 in 2020, and USD 192 and USD 169 in 2022.
