This report provides comprehensive and current information and analysis of marketing to Hispanic millennials including marketing to Hispanic millennials market size, anticipated market forecast, relevant market segmentation, and industry trends for the marketing to Hispanic millennials market in the US.

Current market landscape

Millennials are currently the largest generation in the United States, making up 21% of the population. At 63.5 million people, Hispanics in the US represent 19% of the total US population. At almost 16.5 million, Hispanic Millennials account for 25.9% of the entire US Hispanic population. Hispanic Millennials have faced economic downturns earlier on in life and are applying the lessons from the past to fix the damages and future-proof their finances.

Market share and key industry trends

  • Hispanic Millennials have a positive outlook that needs to be supported. Hispanic Millennials are a resilient segment, holding a positive mindset towards the future of their financial situation despite facing challenges like higher rates of job losses during the pandemic. A positive mindset has helped them weather through difficult times and will need to be sustained to navigate through the current economic challenges. Leaning into budget-friendly products and services that encourage the appreciation of the current moment will play a role in helping to support this sense of optimism.
  • Millennial women need help building a solid financial base. Establishing financial footing is a priority for Hispanic Millennials. Women of this segment are facing an uphill battle as they are more likely to feel financially strapped while also prioritizing debt reduction and paying for their children’s education. Naturally, this makes saving money and building good credit more of a challenge, leading them more likely to turn to multiple streams of income to build wealth. While this means that discounts will resonate with the segment, it is clear that the segment will also benefit from tools and guidance to boost financial knowledge.
  • The definition of luxury is shifting, opening the door to a wider range of treats. A more conservative mindset towards spending does not mean there’s no room for treats – particularly when 76% of Hispanic Millennials feel that luxury does not always have to mean expensive. This opens the door for companies and operators not traditionally associated with luxury to promote purchases or services as affordable ways to “treat themselves.” Small splurges to celebrate small wins may be just what they need to get a momentary bit of positivity.

Future market trends in marketing to Hispanic millennials

With uncertainty continuing to loom, the segment needs guidance to make informed choices for their finances while also focusing on their mental and physical health. While these are arduous times, Hispanics are also acutely aware that cuts to their discretionary spending are not completely prohibitive, but rather regenerative to their long-term goals. Reassurance that they are doing the best they can during these unprecedented times will help them maintain a hopeful outlook for the future.

Expert analysis from a specialist in the field

This report, written by Stefanie Kundakjian, a leading analyst in the Multicultural Consumer sector, delivers in-depth commentary and analysis on Hispanic millennials market research to highlight current trends and add expert context to the numbers.

Even in this current economic environment, Hispanic Millennials are optimistic about their financial futures, reflecting a resilient mindset – though there is a clear focus on establishing a solid financial base. The concept of ‘value’ and associated value propositions are shifting, opening the door for businesses to connect with the audience beyond just cost. For instance, physical experiential aspects of in-store shopping are now more “of value” amongst those who spend more time online and have missed out on in-person gatherings. Similarly, an increased focus on mental wellness alongside the notion that luxury does not always have to be expensive opens the door for small splurges on products and brands not traditionally associated with splurging to be a way to “treat themselves” or to be something to be savored. Having said this, the Hispannic Millenial population segment is spread across various lifestages, which requires marketing to this demographic in targeted ways that do not flatten these differences, but rather, utilize their differences to market in an authentic way.

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

It’s mostly me who uses them but if I know someone is working on something specific I will share the relevant reports.

As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.

Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

“Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.

When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.

The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.”

Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave

“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.”

Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch
