Report Overview
Multicultural consumers—particularly African American and Hispanic consumers—are a key financial services growth target. Buoyed by post-recession economic growth, African American household wealth is expected to grow by 70% from 2010 to 2019, and the number of African American households with a net worth of $100,000 or more is expected to top 4.7 million in 2018.
Likewise, rising household incomes and increasing wealth translate to a need for the financial services industry to target Hispanic consumers across a wider and deeper range of products and services. Hispanic household wealth is expected to grow by more than 90% from 2010 to 2019, and the number of Hispanic households with a net worth of $100,000 or more is expected to top 3.5 million in 2018.
