U.S. Latino Community Drives Economic and Cultural Growth
The U.S. Latino community is experiencing remarkable growth and influence, both economically and culturally. Their impact is reshaping markets and driving trends, as highlighted by recent data.
In 2023 alone, the U.S. Latino labor force grew at a rate unmatched by any other demographic, outpacing them by a factor of 14. This growth is reflected in their economic power. The Latino GDP has surged to $4 trillion, placing it fifth globally if considered independently.
Latinos are also leading the way in digital platforms. Almost half of them use TikTok, more than any other major group, and they are trend-drivers on other digital platforms. Brands are taking notice. Leading companies are reimagining their general market strategies to include Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha Latinos as the general market.
The growth of the Latino community is driven by demographics. One in five Americans under 18 is Latino, with the majority being U.S.-born or naturalized citizens and English as their first language. Navigating their identities with ease and pride, 94% of Latino youth are born in the U.S. However, brands that treat this cohort as a seasonal or niche audience risk being invisible to them.
The Latino community's economic and cultural influence is undeniable. With a labor force growth rate unmatched by any other demographic, a GDP of $4 trillion, and a digital presence that drives trends, they are reshaping markets. Their entrepreneurial spirit, with 62% aspiring to own or already owning a business, and purchasing power growing 2.4 times faster than the rest of the economy, makes them a force to be reckoned with. Brands like Pandora and SoundCloud are actively engaging with this audience, but the global presence in countries like Germany is an area that needs further exploration.
