The employee benefits market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2024 to 2030. North America accounts for the largest share of the category. The increased competition among employers to hire and retain talent along with increasing focus on maintaining work-life balance among employees are driving category growth. Major corporations are employing various strategies, such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships and contracts, and the development, testing, and release of new products. For instance, in August 2023, TA Associates and Warburg Pincus to expand its role as a pan-European leader in digital employee benefits solutions purchased Epassi Group, a provider of employee benefits.
Companies often provide employees with lunch and breakfast coupons so they may easily purchase meal packages. Employee meal cards will be in demand because of this aspect. Additionally, the prevalence of job-hopping is rising, which is driving up demand for goods like meal cards and employee benefits programs. This is explained by the ability of these solutions to raise staff productivity and happiness, which in turn improves a business' retention rate. The demand for these services would increase as a result of firms focusing more on such benefits to enhance the well-being of their employees due to the rising attrition rate.
Companies are continuously focusing on collaborating or commencing their own services. For instance,
• In June 2023, with the purchase of Benefits, an employee benefits advisory firm, together with the company's brokerage and consulting operations, Aon announced the development of the firm's Health Solutions capabilities in Chile. The acquisition considerably increases Aon's client base and the services already being offered by the company in Chile.
• In June 2023, Willis Towers Watson announced a partnership with Clyde & Co. To assist customers in navigating the fast-changing climate risk and liability landscape, the collaboration will employ the organizations' experience and in-depth knowledge of critical climate concerns.
• In April 2023, Mercer announced BT Super’s integration into the Mercer Super Trust. Additionally, Mercer disclosed that it had acquired Advance Asset Management Limited, further enhancing its position as Australia's top investment multi-manager and growing its retirement offerings.
• In August 2021, Up Group purchased Leeto to improve its offerings by adding a complementary digital service to its current offerings, including a platform that enables employees to access their benefits.

Third, products and services offered by employee benefit providers are relatively standardized. This means that buyers have more options to choose from.
