  • Larger deals (over $100m) dropped by 44% as investors grew cautious

European InsurTech funding plummeted by 40% YoY

In 2025, the European InsurTech market recorded a further contraction in both deal activity and funding compared with 2024.

Total deal volume fell to 43 transactions, down 27% from the 59 deals completed in 2024.

Funding declined more sharply, dropping to $520m, a 40% decrease from the $861m raised the previous year.

This softer funding environment was also reflected in average deal sizes, which eased to $12.1m in 2025 from $14.6m in 2024, indicating continued pressure on ticket sizes as investor caution persisted across the sector.

Placing these figures in a longer-term context highlights the scale of the market reset.

In 2021, European InsurTech attracted $7.1bn across 212 deals, meaning that by 2025 funding is down 93% and deal volumes have fallen 80%.

Larger deals (over $100m) dropped by 44% as investors grew cautious

The pullback has been evident across deal sizes: funding from deals under $100m declined 37% year on year to $345m in 2025, from $547m in 2024, while deals of $100m and over fell 44% to $175m, down from $314m.

Compared with 2021, when large deals accounted for $5.5bn of total funding, the sharp reduction in both segments underscores how far European InsurTech investment has retrenched from peak levels.
