What you need to know

Hispanic Millennials account for about one in five of all US Millennials and are part of most brands’ target market due to the sheer size of the group and life stage they represent. However, with six in 10 Hispanic households reporting a loss of income due to COVID-19 and almost half not anticipating a quick recovery, Hispanic Millennials will have an increased focus on value in the months to come. Their search for value is why brands need to continue marketing to Hispanic Millennials. Challenger brands have an opportunity to drive awareness and consideration, while incumbents need to protect their share as spending growth is anticipated to return along with economic recovery.
