The Latino community in the U.S. is not only a vital labor force but also a formidable economic engine. In 2023, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) generated by Latinos exceeded $4.1 trillion, ranking them as the fifth-largest economy in the world, ahead of countries like India, the United Kingdom, and France. This growth has been driven by a Latino workforce that is expanding 7.9 times faster than the non-Latino population. 

As of May 2025, Latino-owned businesses in the United States continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience and growth. Despite economic and social challenges, this business community remains a cornerstone of the national economy. The following are updated data points that reflect this reality: 

Growth and Economic Contribution 

  • Number of Businesses: 
    There are currently over 5 million Latino-owned businesses in the U.S., employing millions of people and generating significant revenue.
  • Business Growth: 
    Between 2017 and 2022, Latino-owned businesses grew at an average annual rate of 7.7%, significantly outpacing the 0.46% growth rate of all employer businesses during the same period.
  • Contribution to GDP: 
    In 2024, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) generated by Latinos in the U.S. reached $3.6 trillion, positioning them as the fifth-largest economy in the world if considered independently.
  • Share in New Business Creation: 
    In 2023, Latinos accounted for 36% of all new businesses created in the U.S. nearly double their share of the general population.
  • Improvement in Financial Solvency: 
    The average credit score of Latino business owners improved from 632 in 2022 to 647 in 2024, indicating increased financial stability and a stronger ability to access capital.

Projections for 2025 

According to the "2024 Hispanic-Latino Business Owner Spotlight" study by Bank of America: 

  • Growth Expectations: 82% of Latino business owners expect an increase in revenue over the next 12 months, compared to 78% of non-Hispanic business owners.
  • Expansion Plans: 78% of Latino businesses plan to expand in 2025, versus 63% of non-Hispanic businesses.
  • Hiring Plans: 64% of Latino businesses plan to increase staff, compared to 52% of non-Hispanic businesses.

Persistent Challenges 

Despite these advancements, Latino businesses still face significant challenges: 

  • Access to Capital: While 55% of Latino business owners believe they have equal access to capital, 53% report difficulties securing it.
  • Labor Shortage: 81% of Latino entrepreneurs say labor shortages are affecting their operations, and 34% struggle to fill open positions.
