Shanghai, China--(Newsfile Corp. - December 19, 2024) - Zhibao Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: ZBAO) ("Zhibao," "we," or the "Company"), a leading and high growth InsurTech company primarily engaging in providing digital insurance brokerage services through its operating entities in China, today announced a strategic expansion into the pet insurance market in China.
Earlier this year, Zhibao Technology signed a strategic cooperation and investment agreement with UAN Pets, an established player in the pet insurance market. UAN works with leading Chinese insurers, including PICC, Ping An, and with leading platforms such as Alipay, and has served more than 1 million customers to date. This agreement resulted in Zhibao taking a share of UAN and established a framework for both parties to work together more closely moving forward.
In October, Zhibao's subsidiary Sunshine Insurance Brokers launched "Chong Bao Bao," its online platform & brand for offering pet insurance solutions in China. Through close cooperation between Sunshine and UAN, Zhibao is well poised to demonstrate strong growth in this rapidly expanding market. Pet medical and liability insurance joins Zhibao's growing list of 40+ digital insurance solutions covering a wide array of industries and products.
"I am excited to expand our presence in the pet insurance space," said Zhibao's Chief Executive Officer Mr. Botao Ma. "With rapidly growing awareness and consumer demand for pet insurance products, Zhibao will be well positioned to deliver industry-leading products through our 2B2C embedded digital insurance platform."
"Zhibao has spent considerable time and effort laying the foundation for this expansion over the course of 2024," continued Mr. Ma. "Our strategic cooperation and investment in UAN Pets joins their market positioning with our strong technological underpinnings. With these advantages, I am confident our Chong Bao Bao platform will drive strong revenue to the company."
"This underscores our commitment to bring market-leading products to our B-Channels and end users across a wide range of markets. We look forward to deepening our relationship with UAN and with other similar synergistic teams in the future," concluded Mr. Ma.
Reporting from Allied Market Research predicts the global pet insurance market will grow from $10.1 billion in 2023 to $38.3 billion by 2033, with Asia-Pacific being the fastest growing region. This increase reflects a growing awareness and willingness to purchase insurance coverage for pets. Joint market research from Zhong'An Insurance and Ant Insurance shows market penetration for pet insurance stands at less than 1% as of 2023.
