AI In The Pet Insurance Industry Statistics

Germany’s pet insurance premium revenue was about €2.0 billion in 2023, and the same scale of money is now pulling in AI that can cut manual claims work by 30% to 70% while sharpening fraud detection by 15 percentage points. From insurers rolling out generative AI for customer engagement with a 2025 target of 30% deploying in production to consumer comfort with AI support reaching 54% in the UK, these figures explain why pet claims and chat support are becoming faster, tighter, and more explainable all at once.
