Global funding for insurtech companies declined by 7.9 percent in the third quarter of 2025, totaling $1.01 billion, compared with the previous quarter, according to the latest report released Thursday by Gallagher Re, a leading global reinsurance broker.
The report highlights a slowdown in capital inflows to the insurtech sector, signaling growing investor caution amid tightening global economic conditions and a shift in focus from aggressive expansion to sustainable growth.
Gallagher Re noted that the number of deals also dipped slightly during the quarter, with fewer large-scale funding rounds. Instead, investors appeared more inclined to back early-stage startups demonstrating practical applications of technology in underwriting, claims processing, and customer experience.
“The slight drop in total funding reflects a maturing industry,” Gallagher Re said in its report. “Investors are becoming more selective, supporting companies that can prove operational resilience and profitability rather than relying solely on growth potential.”
The Q3 decline follows a modest rebound in the first half of the year, when investor confidence had begun to return following a turbulent 2024 marked by inflationary pressures and market uncertainty. However, experts say the current slowdown underscores a more cautious investment climate, where due diligence and sustainable financial models take precedence.
Despite the dip, analysts maintain that long-term prospects for the global insurtech industry remain positive. Technological innovation, particularly in AI-driven risk assessment, digital policy management, and embedded insurance, continues to drive transformation in traditional insurance markets.
The Gallagher Re report also observed that emerging markets in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia are gaining traction, supported by increased adoption of mobile-based insurance solutions and demand for microinsurance products.
While short-term funding activity may remain subdued, the report concludes that insurtech companies capable of balancing innovation with financial discipline will continue to attract investor confidence and play a central role in shaping the future of global insurance.
Global insurtech funding fell 7.9% to $1.01 billion in Q3 2025, reflecting investor caution and a shift toward sustainable business models, according to a new Gallagher Re report.
