DUBLIN, February 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — “UK Pet Insurance Consumer Research Report” has been added to the report. ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.
The UK Pet Insurance Consumer Research Report 2023 provides insights into consumer behavior and intentions. This report is based on responses from a UK national sample of 517 consumers who have some form of pet insurance and compares the most recent results with survey results from 2021 and 2019 where possible.
Pet ownership has increased over the past few years, fueling the growing demand for pet insurance. However, there are many pet owners, including those with cats and dogs, who still do not have any pet insurance, so there is room for growth. On the other hand, for many households, the current housing crisis, inflation and declining disposable income may limit market growth in the next year or two and reduce coverage for some existing policyholders.
By nature, insured pet owners like to minimize their insurable risks by being well insured. This explains why whole life insurance, the most expensive insurance option, is the most popular among insured pet owners. This type of policy is owned by almost four in 10 policyholders in the 2023 survey.
The good news for existing pet insurance providers is that brand loyalty appears to be relatively strong, with a higher percentage of adults staying with their current insurer in this survey than in previous years. Also, fewer respondents in this survey say they will definitely switch to another insurer when the next renewal date comes around.
In the last 12 months, less than 1 out of every 5 policyholders filed a claim. The success rate of claims is relatively high – 68% of claims were fully successful and another 22% were partially successful, for a total of 90%.
More than half purchase pet insurance directly from an insurer. Outright purchases increase significantly for those 65 and older. Less than a third purchase through a price comparison site.
