private sectors
Non-governmental business realm
Private sectors refers to multiple instances of the private sector—the part of a national economy owned and operated by individuals and companies rather than government.
The plural typically appears when comparing economic structures across different countries or regions: Private sectors in developing nations often lack access to capital.
The singular form is far more common.
