In its second year, Mintel and Comperemedia newcomers’ webinar returns at a pivotal moment, delivering fresh consumer and market insights for financial services, insurance, tech, and more.
Mintel’s Impact of Newer Canadians report unveiled that 64% of newer Canadians expect to move away eventually. With the Liberal Party back in power, the government plans to slow immigration growth to ease pressure on housing, capping the growth of permanent residents below 1% and reducing temporary residents like international students.
Amid political shifts and economic uncertainty, brands must rethink how they engage newcomers as their volume and profile could have changed. What matters most to newcomers? How are their needs changing as integration pathways evolve? What messaging and acquisition strategies are proving most effective?
Join us to uncover key trends, behaviours, and tactics to connect authentically with this vital and fast-growing segment.

Understand the forces reshaping consumer decision-making and identify opportunities for growth in 2027.
Consumers across EMEA are navigating increasingly complex economic, technological and social changes.
Beauty innovation has split into two models: rapid, culturally responsive launches that convert attention into trial, and slower, science-led development that creates defensible value and builds worlds consumers want to belong to. In the future, growth will come from matching the pace of innovation to the consumer need, rather than treating speed or retail presence as the strategy itself.
Across two keynote sessions at the Marketing Trends Theatre, Mintel will explore how evolving consumer needs, wellness expectations, advanced science and category innovation are shaping the next stage of beauty and personal care in APAC and beyond.
