The Future of Marketing in a Multicultural America
The United States is continually growing into one of the most diverse nations in the world. By 2050, the White population is projected to decline to 46%, while Hispanic and Asian populations are expected to rise significantly (Kipnis et al., 2019) . These demographic shifts are fundamentally reshaping society and the marketplace. This challenges marketers to adapt their strategies. In a multicultural society, marketing must no longer just be about selling products; although from a revenue perspective, corporations will have to incorporate inclusivity and diversity to keep up with the dramatic demographic transition (Mueller, 2008). It is important to recognize and embrace the unique identities and needs of diverse populations. Brands or companies that fail to engage with diversity risk the potential of alienating segments of their target audiences and becoming obsolete. A multicultural society is transforming marketing practices in the United States by reshaping consumer identity through diverse demographics, emphasizing the role of cultural values in consumer behavior, and the need for inclusive marketing strategies. These shifts will require marketers to develop a deeper understanding of their audiences. By Kristina Simon - Florida State University
