Insights

Aon's strategic investment in eMed strengthens its position in the lucrative GLP-1 market with proven results from internal implementation.

Aon's investment in eMed Population Health represents a strategic move to capitalize on the rapidly growing GLP-1 weight management market. After successfully implementing eMed's GLP-1 program for its own U.S. workforce, Aon has seen compelling results that validate this investment decision: 1,200 registrants, an average weight loss of 22.4 pounds, and a remarkable 95% retention rate within just six months.

This partnership is particularly significant as it follows Aon's recent multi-year analysis of U.S. commercial health claims data regarding GLP-1 medications, giving the company both data-driven insights and now direct implementation experience in this space. By investing in eMed, Aon positions itself to capitalize on the growing employer demand for effective obesity management solutions while potentially reducing their clients' long-term healthcare costs.

The investment allows Aon to expand beyond its traditional professional services model into the healthcare solutions space, creating a new revenue stream with significant growth potential. For context, the GLP-1 market is experiencing explosive growth as these medications move beyond diabetes treatment into mainstream weight management applications. Aon is strategically placing itself at the intersection of employer benefits management and healthcare delivery innovation.

The company appears to be building a comprehensive GLP-1 strategy with "complementary solutions" and "advisory capabilities" that could strengthen its competitive position in the benefits consulting space while addressing a major healthcare cost driver for its clients.
