Japan Pet Insurance Industry Trends and Drivers:

The Japan pet insurance market is driven by growing pet population, rising cost of veterinary care, and increasing awareness towards pet health and wellness. Japanese people are more and more making pets especially dogs and cats as members of their families and pet owners in Japan are willing to pay for full-ranging medical services for their pets. The humanization of pets has raised the bar for veterinary medicine, with owners requesting more advanced procedures, including specialized surgeries, diagnostic imaging, cancer therapeutics, and treatments for chronic illnesses that resemble those available in human healthcare. Veterinary medicine costs have skyrocketed in Japan due to the demand for advanced skills and technologies, and many pet owners are unable to afford an emergency treatment. Pet insurance does protect against some of these expenses, so owners can make decisions about care based on what is medically necessary and not what is financially feasible. Furthermore, the older pet population due to better nutrition and veterinary care is leading to a higher incidence of age-associated diseases, and more pets need lifelong treatment and care.

Product innovation and market development are redefining the landscape of pet insurance in Japan. Insurers are also offering holistic plans for illnesses and accidents - which account for the most frequent, and expensive, vet care needs - and specialist coverage for ailments that require long-term care for pets with conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, allergies and more. The division between public and private insurers also results in a competitiveness in the market consisting of multiple products and varying prices and services. Dogs make up the majority of the insured pet population as they are more expensive to own and treat, although cat insurance is rapidly growing as more feline owners realise the benefits of financial protection. Coverage for other pets such as rabbits, birds and exotic animals are starting to become available as niche areas in the market. The enrollment process is also being streamlined by digital distribution channels, and customer experience is being enhanced through services such as online policy management and claims filing. In addition, collaborations between insurers and veterinary hospitals, pet retailers, and breeders to increase market exposure and raise awareness among pet owners on the advantages of insurance, are enhancing penetration rates in Japan's growing pet care ecosystem.
