buyers
Those who acquire
Buyers is the plural of buyer—people or entities that purchase goods or services.
In real estate and business, buyers are distinguished from sellers: We have several interested buyers.
A buyer's market favors purchasers because supply exceeds demand.
In retail, a buyer is someone whose job is selecting merchandise for a store to sell.
