marketization

Shift toward commerce

Marketization is the process of introducing market forces into sectors previously controlled by government or other non-market systems.

It typically involves privatization, deregulation, and competition where none existed before: the marketization of healthcare, the marketization of higher education.

The term often carries critical connotations, suggesting that market logic is being applied to areas where it may not belong.
