What does "market" mean?

A market is a place for selling, i.e. there must be goods or services and buyers.

For example, before starting a business, an entrepreneur will consider whether there is a market for a new service or product, and if there is a market, there will be many buyers.

Today, market has two meanings, one of which is a place, such as a traditional market, a stock market, a futures market, and so on, and the other is a general term for the act of trading. The word market is not just a place, but also includes the behavior of trading in this place. Therefore, when talking about the size of the market, does not only mean the size of the place, but also includes the consumer behavior is active.

Although the market is a general term for the act of trading, the act of trading is not necessarily free, especially in the provision of goods or the choice of trading objects, due to external interference such as laws, conventions and other restrictions. A free market is one in which goods can be offered and objects chosen freely, and a non-free market is one in which the opposite is true. (Reference: zh. *** /wiki/%E5%B8%82%E5%A0%B4,
