Hispanic Definition

“Hispanic” entails anyone who originates from a Spanish-speaking country, and “Latino” denotes individuals who have origins in a Latin American country, regardless of whether it is a Spanish-speaking country. This Report covers both Hispanic and Latino consumers, and the term is used interchangeably throughout to reflect the diversity of this demographic.

Similar to the US Census, Mintel defines Hispanic consumers as those who report being of Hispanic or Latino origin or descent, such as Latin American, Mexican, Puerto Rican or Cuban.

Hispanic Consumer Overview

Treating Hispanics in a sweeping way, and ignoring the cultural nuances, can be harmful to brands. As covered in Mintel’s DE&I 2022 Market Report, America is becoming more diverse with each new generation. This creates new audiences that expect authentic representation from brands, in the workplace, in entertainment, and in branding. Below, we explore some of the beauty and personal care (BPC) trends among Hispanic consumers.

Hispanic BPC Consumer Trends

  • Hispanic consumers prefer at-home BPC treatments. Difficulties in finding the right beauty products are creating barriers for Hispanic consumers. The result is that often, these consumers ditch products altogether, as DIY methods continue to rise. BPC brands therefore have the opportunity to empower Hispanic consumers through knowledge and quality tools.
  • “Natural” drives engagement: Hispanic consumers continue to look for natural claims in products, as 42% consider Natural Ingredients as the #3 top factor when deciding on which BPC products to buy. This may speak to environmental concerns and sensitivity to formulations.
  • Different segments have different motivations: While women are highly engaged with at–home offerings to economise their budget, men are 12% less so. Instead, fathers seek at-home treatments that help them relax. Speaking to different Hispanic consumer segments will be pivotal to resonate.

Expert Analysis

This report, written by Stefanie Kundakjian, a leading multicultural insight analyst, delivers in-depth commentary on the US BPC market and how Hispanic consumers are responding to it.

Hispanic consumers are highly engaged in at-home beauty and personal care treatments and resort to going to a salon when they lack the skills to get good results. Overall, at-home BPC brands attract consumers because of their price point, but specific segments are motivated by different variables, including ease of use, brand familiarity, natural ingredients, and scent. There’s room to address Hispanic consumers’ unmet needs, particularly as there’s a desire to gain more knowledge and purchase tools that are conducive to salon-grade results.

                                                  Consumers remain largely ambivalent about lunch, with only 45% associating “satisfaction” with their midday meal. The paradox, however, is that fewer than a third want lunch to be...

                                                  There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

                                                  However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.

                                                  Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus

                                                  One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

                                                  We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

                                                  We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

                                                  When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

                                                  They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

                                                  So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.

                                                  We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

                                                  By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

                                                  For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
