Freedonia Market Research Freedonia Focus Reports Pet Insurance: United States

Pet Insurance: United States

Focus Reports, United States

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2022 US pet insurance market revenues in nominal US dollars. To illustrate historical trends, total revenues are provided in annual series from 2007 to 2017.

This report examines the market for pet health insurance in the US. Overall numbers (gross written premiums and policies in force) in this report reflect insurance plans for cats and dogs. While there is insurance for exotic pets, it is rarely purchased compared to dog and cat insurance in the US and is therefore excluded from the scope of this report.

Insurance for horses, which are much more likely than smaller companion animals to be regarded as important investments, is based on a completely different set of actuary information and is not part of the pet health insurance market as defined by leading industry participants in the US. Equine insurance is therefore excluded from this market analysis.

Although pet insurance is of course designed to provide medical coverage for companion animals, it is not, technically speaking, a health product. Rather, because pets are legally considered to be the property of their owners, pet insurance falls under the Property and Casualty insurance classification and functions as indemnity insurance (similar to car or homeowners insurance) designed to restore financial loss stemming from pet healthcare events, providing reimbursement to the pet owner or veterinarian once a claim is filed.

Pet insurance and pet health insurance are used interchangeably throughout this report.

Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading suppliers, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
