Theft Insurance is a type of coverage that offers financial protection for individuals or businesses against losses resulting from the theft of property, assets, or valuables. It typically reimburses the policyholder for stolen items, damage caused by theft, and, in some cases, associated costs such as repairs or legal fees.
The main types of theft covered by theft insurance include bank fraud, credit card fraud, phone and utilities fraud, employment and tax-related fraud, and others. Bank fraud involves the illegal acquisition of money, assets, or property from a bank through deceptive practices, such as forgery, identity theft, or unauthorized access. Theft insurance is available through multiple distribution channels, including direct sales, online platforms, agents and brokers, and bancassurance. This coverage is used by both individuals and businesses.

The theft insurance market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.99 billion in 2024 to $1.15 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing crime rates and burglary incidents, heightened awareness of theft insurance, expansion of urbanization, a rise in automobile theft cases, and the growing number of high-value personal assets.
The theft insurance market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising vehicle ownership, increased demand for cyber-theft insurance, heightened focus on climate-related theft risks, expanding insurance penetration in emerging markets, and rising disposable incomes. Major trends in this period include advancements in risk assessment technologies, the integration of blockchain for policy issuance, the personalization of insurance plans, the integration of theft insurance with smart home security, and the adoption of parametric insurance models.
The increasing adoption of electronic identification (e-ID) is expected to drive the growth of the theft insurance market. Electronic identification is a digital method of confirming a person's identity using electronic credentials, enabling secure access to services and transactions. As the demand for secure and convenient identity verification in digital interactions grows, electronic identification helps ensure compliance with regulatory standards while reducing fraud risks. Theft insurance plays a vital role in enhancing the security of electronic identification by encouraging businesses to adopt advanced identification technologies such as biometric authentication and RFID tracking to prevent fraud and streamline claims processing. For example, in December 2023, the Namirial Group, an Italy-based software company, reported that Italy's digital identity user rate had reached 61%, marking a 7% increase from the previous year. Therefore, the rise in the adoption of electronic identification is contributing to the growth of the theft insurance market.
Companies in the theft insurance market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as cloud-based protection to enhance security, improve real-time monitoring, and prevent unauthorized access.

For example, in March 2024, HSB Group, a U.S.-based insurance company, introduced cyber insurance for automobiles.
