Product market
In economics, the product market is the marketplace where final goods or services are sold to household and the foreign sector . Focusing on the sale of finished goods, it does not include trading in raw or other intermediate materials.[1]
Related, but contrasting, terms are labour market.

According to the OECD, indicators for product market regulation include price controls, foreign ownership barriers, and tariffs, among other things.[2]
