If you program radio or manage, this is a very important read. With a buying power projected to reach an estimated $2.1 trillion by 20261, the economic influence of Black consumers in the U.S. is undeniable. Black Americans are not just a market segment—they are cultural innovators, trendsetters and key drivers of broader cultural change. Brands looking to connect with this demographic and make a meaningful impact will need to rethink their marketing strategies to prioritize authentic engagement and relevant representation. Let’s take a closer look at the media habits of Black audiences to help brands aiming to connect with these consumers in 2025.

A key to the Black community in one device

Mobile devices are more than just tools for communication in the Black community—they’re gateways to cultural expression, community connection and information access. As early adopters and digital trendsetters, Black Americans are spending significantly more time on their smartphones compared to the U.S. overall. In fact, Black adults dedicate 23 hours and 26 minutes weekly to smartphone apps and web browsing, nearly two hours more than the average American who spends 21 hours and 32 minutes.
