domestic consumption

Internal market demand

Domestic consumption refers to the total amount of goods, services, or resources used within a country's own borders, as opposed to what is exported abroad.

Economists track domestic consumption as a key indicator of economic health and self-sufficiency.

Oil production exceeded domestic consumption, allowing for significant exports.

The term appears frequently in discussions of trade policy, energy independence, and agricultural output.
