What you need to know

Hispanics embrace the internet as it allows them to consume the content they want when they want, and stay connected with friends and family. As a result, they are equipping their households with consumer electronics (CE) staples such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. However, as they become bicultural, Hispanics are adopting an even greater array of digital devices.

Most CE categories are fragmented and few brands stand out for ownership among Hispanics. In most categories, Hispanics represent an important growth opportunity which can materialize by clearly communicating features that Hispanics, whom are a value-oriented group, deem to be the most important.
