2015 saw the UK pet insurance market continue to grow, with gross written premiums (GWP) increasing by 6.3% from ÂŁ853m in 2014 to ÂŁ910m in 2015. Medical inflation remains the underlying factor driving GWP, with the quality of medical treatments and veterinary procedures influencing cost greatly and sparking inflationary pressure. Product penetration has also grown, with the number of policy subscribers continuing its upward trend from 2012 to reach 3.4 million - an increase of 8.7% from 2014. The market has been battling to increase product take-up and is vying to maintain distribution output by increasing the availability of policies on direct propositions and price comparison sites. Aggregators still serve the pet space, but while many of the smaller providers continue to place more of their business onto these platforms, the major players are still refraining from using price comparison sites as a means of product distribution - with good reason.

Reasons To Buy • Benchmark yourself against the rest of the market. Ensure you remain competitive as new innovations and significant market developments occur. • Be informed of how insurers are faring amid the increasing cost of claims in the face of developments in pet care and advancing medical treatments.
