Black middle class on the up...

The emerging black middle class, termed the ‘Onyx Market' by TGI research (and also referred to as the Black Diamonds in marketing parlance), continues to grow, reaching a figure of 3.7 million individuals in 2008.

According to TGI, a comparison in a few selected markets shows how important these wealthy individuals are when compared to whites who were traditionally the prime market… the Onyx are younger (32 years old on average, a full eight years younger than the average white), they outnumber whites in alcohol consumption, Internet usage, and owning a generator. Motor vehicle ownership still lags that of whites.
