Market is any space where marketers and consumers are able to engage in willful exchanges or transactions of some market exchangeables. The marketers represent potential sellers; while consumers do potential buyers. "Willfulness" of exchanges assume buyer choice, which is a situation where buyers have a choice of the sources that may satisfy their needs.
The market allows for interactions between the parties; agreed exchanges and transactions may occur on the same market or outside of it.
- Buyer's market is an aggregate of all market exchangeables that this buyer can possibly buy;

Market can also be defined as some space, virtual or physical, in which sellers (a) search for buyers and buyers search for sellers, (b) negotiate prices, and (c) make deals. Market competitiveness refers to the ratio of buyers and sellers of a particular market exchangeable.
