R.I.P. GENERAL MARKET: THE MAINSTREAM LEADS WITH CULTURE

In the latter half of the 20th century, a theory emerged—and is still promoted today—that the cultural orientations of Hispanic and Asian immigrants and their descendants would diminish as they “became more acculturated.” A new study by the Hispanic Marketing Council (HMC) shows the opposite is true: non-Hispanic white (NHW) 13-to-49-year-olds have been more influenced by Hispanic, Black and Asian cultures. With the multicultural majority already a reality for Americans under 25 & estimated for all people under 35 by the end of this year, it is safe to say that the construct of a white American “general market” is dead, upending long-held marketing paradigms centered around an increasingly non-existent NHW majority.

ARE YOUR MARKETING STRATEGIES READY FOR THE MULTICULTURAL MAJORITY?

For the first time, Americans 25 and under are a multicultural majority, with the 35-and-under segment estimated to reach that milestone by the end of this year. In addition, the Gen Z multicultural majority generation has reached adulthood, joining Millennials and together forming a multicultural super-segment. These two transformative generations are wielding enormous power and influence on today’s American mainstream. Just how much? The Hispanic Marketing Council (HMC) will have those answers and more with its latest study, “IT’S TIME: The Growing Power of the Multicultural Majority.”  On October 4, HMC will host a free event in New York City to reveal the top insights of the study and host a Q&A session—the event also will be live streamed. For more information, and to register for the in-person event or the simulcast.
