Frequently Asked Questions
How does HRG cover Latin America from the Caribbean?
HRG's Caribbean headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica provides a strategic gateway to Latin American markets. We maintain partnerships with established research firms across Latin America, deploy bilingual research teams fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and leverage our Caribbean presence to cover the CARICOM-Latin America trade corridor. Our approach combines local market expertise through partner networks with HRG's rigorous quality standards, methodology design, and analytical capabilities.
What are the largest markets in Latin America?
The largest Latin American markets by population and GDP include Brazil (215M people, largest LATAM economy), Mexico (130M, second-largest), Colombia (52M), Argentina (46M), Peru (34M), and Chile (19M). Combined, Latin America represents 660M+ consumers across 20+ countries. Each market has distinct consumer behaviors, regulatory environments, and competitive landscapes that require localized research approaches. Central American and Caribbean basin countries add additional diverse markets to the region.
How does language diversity affect LATAM research?
Language diversity is a critical consideration in Latin American market research. The region spans Spanish-speaking countries (18 nations with distinct dialects and cultural nuances), Portuguese-speaking Brazil (the largest market), French-speaking Haiti and French Guiana, English-speaking Caribbean nations and Belize, and Dutch-speaking Suriname. Effective LATAM research requires native-language survey instruments, culturally adapted questionnaires, bilingual moderators for focus groups, and analysts who understand regional idioms and communication styles.
What industries drive Latin American economies?
Key industries driving Latin American economies include FMCG and consumer packaged goods, retail and e-commerce (rapidly growing), telecommunications and mobile services, financial services and fintech, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, automotive manufacturing (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina), energy and mining (oil, copper, lithium), agriculture and agribusiness, tourism and hospitality, and construction and real estate. Digital transformation and e-commerce growth present significant research opportunities across all markets.
How much does Latin America market research cost?
Latin America market research costs vary significantly by country and scope. Single-country studies typically range from $20,000-$60,000 USD depending on methodology and sample size. Multi-country studies across 3-5 LATAM markets range from $75,000-$200,000+. Regional studies covering 10+ countries can exceed $300,000. Costs vary by country — research in Brazil and Mexico tends to be more expensive due to geographic size, while smaller markets like Chile, Uruguay, and Caribbean nations offer more cost-efficient data collection. HRG's partner network enables competitive pricing across the region.
