Difference between Consumer and Buyer
• Everyone in this world is a consumer, from birth
to death. The moment a person is born, he or
she starts consuming products or services. In
fact, consumption starts even before birth-a
baby in a mother's womb is nourished by the
food the mother consumes.
• a consumer is a person who consumes or uses a
product or service.
• According to international Dictionary of
Management, "Consumes are purchases of
goods and services for immediate use and
consumption".
• Thus consumer is an ultimate user of a product.
• But buyer is a person who buys goods either
for resale or for use in production or for use
of somebody else.
