Role of Consumer in the market place
• A consumer is the one who pays something to consume goods and
services produced. As such, consumers play a vital role in the
economic system of a nation.
• The role of a consumer is important in an economic system
because it is consumers who demand goods and services.
Consumer Movement
• The Consumer Movement is an effort to promote consumer
protection through an organized social movement which is in many
places led by consumer organizations.
Consumer International

consumer groups around the world. Founded on 1 April 1960, it has
over 250 member organisations in 120 countries. Its head office is

2. Right to Safety
3. Right to be Informed

Standardization Symbols
Conclusion
• At last, it is concluded that consumer awareness means being
aware of having the knowledge about the several consumer
production laws, rectified techniques, and consumer rights which
include the right to protection of health and safety from goods and
services that consumers purchase, right to be informed about the
price, quality, quantity, potency, and standard of goods.
• Consumer awareness is the necessity of the hour whether it is
about your rights, the information about the product or anything
else that can change the mind-set of the other buyers.
• There is no doubt that consumer awareness is quite more in the
present time and has helped a lot in bringing the transformation.
