wholesale buyer

Volume discount customer

A wholesale buyer is someone who purchases goods in large quantities, typically from manufacturers or distributors, to resell rather than for personal use.

Retailers, restaurant owners, and resellers are common wholesale buyers: As a wholesale buyer, she got cases of wine at half the retail price.

The term distinguishes those buying in bulk at reduced prices from ordinary consumers.
