The GLP-1 Consumer The most comprehensive analysis of GLP-1 users todate, based on 58,008 surveys. Executive Summary GLP-1 medications have moved from niche diabetes treatments to mainstreamcultural phenomena. This report answers two core questions:who are GLP-1 users,and what do their behaviors and preferences mean for brands? The brand-consideration data, covering 3,081 brands, reveals thatGLP-1 users showhigher purchasing consideration for 99.9% of all brands measured, with an averageuplift of +12.9 percentage points. The audience-profile data, based on 58,008 U.S.adults, explains why: GLP-1 users are wealthier, better educated, more digitallyengaged, more socially active, more politically engaged, and more optimistic aboutthe economy than the average American. The result is a consumer archetype that defies easy categorization. GLP-1 users aresimultaneously health-conscious and impulsive, status-driven and community-oriented, disciplined about food and enthusiastic about indulgent brands. They arenot a health niche—they are an affluent, hyper-engaged, aspirational consumersegment that happens to manage weight with modern pharmaceuticals. And as GLP-1prescriptions continue their rapid growth, this segment will only become morecommercially important. Key Takeaways 1.GLP-1 users are markedly more affluent and educatedthan the generalpopulation.The share earning over $100,000 is 31% (+17pp compared to alladults). 2.They are far more engaged with novelty, status, and social currencythan theaverage adult. These are consumers primed for premium products, limitededitions, and brand storytelling that appeals to aspiration and belonging. 3.The ”impulsive health-conscious paradox”is perhaps the most revealingtension in the data. 49% of GLP-1 users “tend to be impulsive” (vs. 38% of alladults), yet 74% say health is their primary food decision factor (vs. 63%). Thisparadox resolves when you understand GLP-1 users as active managers ofcompeting impulses. 4.There is a near-universal uplift in purchasing for brands:GLP-1 users showhigher purchasing consideration for 3,077 of 3,081 brands measured. Theaverage uplift is +12.9 pp. 5.GLP-1 users show elevated interest in luxury and aspirational brands.Lincoln(+27.8), Rolex (+25.4), and Mercedes-Benz (+25.3) all appear in the top tier. Thisis the behavioral expression of the audience’s self-reported desire to “live alifestyle that impresses others” (+14 pp). 6.Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is the standout brand(not including GLP-1 medicationbrands) in terms of purchasing consideration.
