commercialistic

Focused on sales

Commercialistic describes an excessive focus on commerce, profit, or material gain.

The word carries a critical edge—something commercialistic prioritizes selling over substance: The holiday has become too commercialistic.

It suggests the tainting of something that should be above mere money-making: a commercialistic approach to education.
