The Benfield Group

The Benfield Group was a U.S.-based healthcare consulting and market research firm focused on helping healthcare stakeholders understand and engage the employer market. Its services centered on proprietary employer and purchaser research, market strategy, and strategic communications for healthcare companies, including biopharmaceutical, diagnostic, medical device, and digital health organizations. The company specialized in analyzing employer benefit trends, purchaser decision-making, and market access dynamics rather than developing therapeutics. Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. acquired The Benfield Group in 2014, and the business appears to have continued under Gallagher branding through Benfield Research and later Employer Research & Insights.
