The U.S. Hispanic Market
September 2001
This completely new Packaged Facts report provides a timely analysis of the
consumer market created by the 35.3 million Hispanics living in the United
States, who now make up the largest minority population segment in the country.
The report begins by using the latest available data from Census 2000 and a wide
variety of other sources to construct an in-depth demographic profile of the
Hispanic population. Variables analyzed include population distribution, income
levels, family structure, employment patterns, educational achievement, and
social values. Factors affecting the growth of the U.S. Hispanic market, such as
immigration patterns and birth rates, are assessed, and estimates of market size
and growth are provided. The report then analyzes the consumer behavior of
Hispanics, including their shopping behavior and buying patterns. The growing
significance of e-commerce in the Hispanic market is evaluated in detail. The
report provides an overview of Hispanic media, including television, radio,
print and online media. The marketing and promotional approaches and selected
advertising campaigns of major companies active in the U.S. Hispanic market are
reviewed, and case studies of Hispanic marketing strategies are provided.
Appendices include information about resources available to companies interested
in the Hispanic market and examples of advertisements targeting the market.
Between 1990 and 2000 the Hispanic population grew more than four times as
fast as the population as a whole (57.9% vs. 13.2%). Hispanic consumers are now
driving forces in most of the largest markets in the country, including Los
Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Miami, and all major metropolitan areas in the
Southwest. Now accounting for one in eight Americans, Hispanics will make up an
increasingly large proportion of the American population as the 21st century
progresses. Growth rates of Hispanics in younger age groups are expected to be
especially significant. Despite its importance, the Hispanic market is still
underserved by many consumer-products companies and continues to offer
significant opportunities for growth.
Discover how the growth patterns in the Hispanic population uncovered by
Census 2000 are affecting the marketing strategies of businesses in both large
and small markets throughout the United States. Learn about why marketers need
to consider the diverse subgroups and subcultures within the Hispanic
population. Find out how Hispanic families are narrowing the digital divide.
