The wedding insurance market is predicted to reach $5 billion by 2032, according to recent data compiled by the market intelligence firm Wise Guy Reports. Already in 2024 the sector has reached $3.2 billion, the data showed, driven by increasing awareness of financial risks associated with weddings, the growing trend of destination weddings, and higher demand for customized insurance policies that cater to the specific needs of couples. Recent market trends include:

  • Comprehensive plans covering cancellation, postponement and lost deposits.
  • Additional coverages such as liability and medical insurances.
  • New insurance providers.
  • Innovative products and services.

North America controlled the largest market share at roughly 43.5% in 2022 and is predicted to hold the top position through the end of the study period in 2032, the Wise Guy Report showed. Meanwhile, Europe secured the second spot for wedding insurance at 31.8% in 2022, driven by add-on insurance, outdoor and cross-border weddings. Chubb, State Farm, Travelers, Liberty Mutual and Allianz are key providers in the wedding insurance market, according to the report. "Major players in the market are expanding their offerings to meet this demand, introducing new products and services tailored to the specific needs of engaged couples," Wise Guy Reports said.
