Connect with your Hispanic Consumers!

Facts About the Hispanic Market in the United States

The Hispanic, Latino, or LatinX market if you will, is a growing segment of the food & beverage industry with over 60 million consumers, as confirmed by the 2020 U.S. Census. According to the report from Nielsen, “Cultural connectivity transformed. How Latinos are connecting while social distancing”, there are over 62.3 million Hispanics living in the USA, representing close to 20% of the U.S. population. Their median age is 28, so they are swiftly approaching their peak earning years. From 2010 to 2019, Hispanics’ buying power increased 69% compared with 41% of non-Hispanics. Over the past 6 years in the USA, Hispanics accounted for 75% of all U.S. labor force growth.

Questions Retailers Should Ask

Is your retail establishment, convenience store, supermarket, or grocery store (s) successfully selling to your current Hispanic customers, or can you do better?

Is your store neighborhood changing, with more Hispanics moving in? If so, do you know which Hispanic cultural group or groups are coming in? Are you finding out that it is not enough to carry one brand, say Goya, to satisfy your Hispanic customers?

Do you have the “correct” products mix on your supermarket shelves to respond to the needs of Latinos in general and to the specific Hispanic sub-segment in your neighborhood?

Are you losing customers to surrounding bodegas?
