retail markets

Places selling goods

Retail markets are venues where goods are sold directly to consumers rather than to other businesses.

The term covers physical locations—shops, stores, farmers' markets—and the broader economic sector of consumer sales.

In finance, retail markets refer to individual investors trading securities, as opposed to institutional markets where banks and funds operate.
