This completely new Packaged Facts report provides a comprehensive assessment of the teen market, which includes more than 32 million Americans ages 12 to 19. The report begins by highlighting key aspects of the teen population, such as projected population growth, race and ethnicity, and employment and income patterns. Trends in the teen market are identified and teen buying power is estimated. The report presents an analysis of the consumer behavior of teens, including their impact on family buying decisions, and offers a review of leading teen media. Marketing, promotional, and advertising strategies used in the teen market are analyzed, and companies focusing on the teen market are profiled. Appendices include information about resources available to companies interested in the teen market and examples of advertisements targeting the market.

Teens represent one of the fastest-growing population segments, with the teen population registering a growth of 16.6% between 1990 and 2000. Teens wield significant buying power—both in their own right and in the context of their family purchasing decisions—that is increasingly targeted by marketers seeking to execute successful growth strategies. However, today’s teens are more media-sensitive and marketing-savvy than any of their predecessor generations and require a highly sophisticated marketing approach.
