Market sector
The term market sector is used in economics and finance to describe a part of the economy. It is usually a broader term than industry, which is a set of businesses that are buying and selling such similar goods and services that they are in direct competition with each other.[1] Analysts divide the stock market itself into market sectors so that shares of companies that are in direct competition are listed alongside each other.
