Insurtech investment roars back in Q1
May 20, 2025 by Doug Bailey
After several quarters of stagnant growth and investor fatigue, the insurtech sector roared into 2025 with renewed purpose, thanks in large part to a technology that’s no longer futuristic — just fundamental.
Global insurtech funding rose 90.2% in the first quarter of 2025 to $1.31 billion, marking the sector’s strongest performance since the third quarter of 2022, according to Gallagher Re’s latest Global InsurTech Report. The rebound was led by a wave of investment in AI-powered platforms, especially in property and casualty insurance, as more insurers look for practical ways to automate, improve, and compete.
