This is particularly true with Hispanics as many of whom report being from multiple racial ethnic descents. In SIMM 10, Hispanics identified themselves racially as: as Caucasian (44.2%), Other Race / Heritage (34.6%) and Multi-Racial (16%).

To capitalize on this enormous opportunity, retailers and manufacturers need to deeply understand and anticipate the needs of this highly-fragmented segment of households and categories and not consolidate them into one homogeneous group.
