demand side

Purchasers in markets

Demand side refers to the consumers, buyers, or users in an economic system—the people who want goods and services rather than those who produce them.

Demand-side economics focuses on stimulating consumer spending to drive growth, contrasting with supply-side approaches that emphasize production.

The term appears in discussions of markets, policy, and platform economics: The demand side of the rideshare market grew faster than driver supply.
