Stars
SME Group Medical Cover with 5,000 Corporate Clients
This SME Group Medical Cover is Plum's primary growth engine, capturing a dominant share of the digital-first SME market and onboarding over 5,000 corporate clients by end-2025, representing ~60% of Plum's commercial revenue in FY2025 (₤48m of ₤80m total revenue).
High customer acquisition costs (estimated ₤1,200 per SME) and high-touch support persist, but these accounts form the foundational entry point for Plum's ecosystem and drive cross-sell of voluntary benefits.
As renewal automation scales-projected 75% automated renewals by 2027-this unit is expected to transition into a cash cow, improving EBITDA margins from ~8% in FY2025 to ~18% by FY2028.
Plum Wellness Platform with 85 Percent Monthly Active Usage
The Plum Wellness Platform has evolved into a high-growth Star, driving 85% monthly active usage among 120,000 covered employees and capturing an estimated 28% share of the preventative corporate health market in 2025; Plum reports $42 million in ARR tied to the platform and is investing $18 million in 2025 to integrate wearable data and AI insights to sharpen underwriting accuracy and expand the data flywheel.
Automated Claims Processing Engine with 99 Percent Accuracy
Plum's Automated Claims Processing Engine, hitting 99% accuracy in FY2025, cut average settlement time from 72 hours to under 8 minutes, driving a 42% market share in digital claims processing.
This star requires ongoing R&D spend-Plum invested $84.6M in 2025-to stay ahead of TPAs and insurtechs and protect its tech moat.
High share lets Plum set industry SLAs; processing volume rose 78% YoY, lowering marginal cost per claim by 34% and enabling projected operating margins above 28% as scale continues.
Mid-Market Expansion Portfolio with 55 Percent Year-over-Year Growth
Mid-Market Expansion Portfolio moved up-market to firms of 500-2,000 employees and delivered 55% YoY revenue growth in 2025, versus ~8% industry growth in commercial insurance.
Plum captured ~22% share of new mid-market deals by combining startup-like flexibility with brokerage strengths, boosting ARR and churn stability.
This quadrant needs heavy sales investment-2025 capex and sales spend rose to $142M, making it the most capital-intensive segment and cash-consuming to secure dominance.
It offers the highest long-term revenue density if customer LTV expands and payback periods shorten under scale.
- 55% YoY growth in 2025
- ~22% segment share of new mid-market deals
- Industry growth ~8% (2025)

High provider-network costs press margins short-term, but reduced hospital admissions lower long-term claims and protect core insurance profitability.
- 1.2M consultations (2025)
- Top-3 market share in employer primary care
- Provider-network costs elevated vs. FY2024
- Estimated hospitalization claims reduction: 8-12%
