Click above for the 2023 Latino GDP Report
Highlights of the 2023 U.S. Latino GDP Report:
  • The total economic output, or gross domestic product (GDP), of Latinos in the U.S. was $3.2 trillion in 2021, up from $2.1 trillion in 2015 and $1.7 trillion in 2010.
  • If Latinos living in the United States were an independent country, the U.S. Latino GDP would be the fifth largest GDP in the world, larger than the GDPs of entire countries such as the United Kingdom, India, or France.
  • Among the world’s 10 largest GDPs, the U.S. Latino GDP is the third fastest-growing from 2010-21, while the broader U.S. economy ranks fifth. From 2010-21, the growth of U.S. Latino GDP was nearly 2.5 times that of Non-Latino GDP.
  • In 2021, consumption by U.S. Latinos totaled $2.14 trillion, representing a consumption market larger in size than the entire economy of countries like Italy, Canada or Russia.
