What: A summary of the most relevant consumer insight research in the US, US Hispanic, and Latin American markets.
Why it matters: If you’re trying to keep up with the latest happenings, this is your one-stop shop.

 

  • According to Packaged Facts in the report The Financial Services Market: African Americans and Hispanics, as of 2018, some 70% of U.S. adult consumers say they don’t like the idea of being in debt—a response rate has held relatively steady since 2009, even as consumers have gradually added debt to their balance sheets. African American consumers are 28% less likely than the average U.S. consumer to feel financially secure, but at the same time, they are 16% less likely than average to view the idea of being in debt negatively. Likewise, Hispanic consumers are 15% less likely than the average U.S. consumer to feel financially secure, and they are also more likely than average to say they are no good at saving money.

 

  • US organic sales surpassed US $21 billion in sales in the 52-week period ended Nov. 24, 2018, which was up nearly 9% from the previous 52-week period, according to Nielsen Homescan household projected data. Millennials spent 14% more on organic products compared to the previous 52-week period, and Hispanic consumers spent over 13% more.

 

  • More and more Mexicans are willing to try online grocery shopping, as demonstrated by recent Comscore data. 4.5 million users buy on Walmart, followed by Soriana (1.1 million) and Superama (992,000 users). Bearing in mind that Mexico’s total population reaches over 65 million users, the market of online grocery shopping has great potential in this country.

 

  • The latest findings from MRI’s Cord Evolution research show that Americans watch TV or video in groups almost half (48%) of their total viewing time. Over half (58%) of co-viewing time is spent watching with a “significant other,” while children account for 19%; adult family members, 16%; and friends, 9%. Preferred genres for watching with others change depending on who else is in the room; while Movies come in first or second in all four co-viewing situations, and Comedy TV Shows consistently place in the top three, Sports score highest when friends are the co-viewers.

 

  • According to a report by Pew Research Center, the views of Gen Z – those ages 13 to 21 in 2018 – mirror those of Millennials. Only about three-in-ten Gen Zers and Millennials (30% and 29%, respectively) approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president. This compares with 38% of Gen Xers, 43% of Boomers and 54% of Silents. Similarly, while majorities in Gen Z and the Millennial generation say government should do more to solve problems, rather than that government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals, Gen Xers and Boomers are more evenly divided on this issue. For their part, most Silents would like to see a less activist government.
