That concept is usually called either "consumer sovereignty" (in economics) or "buyer power" / "bargaining power of buyers" (in business/strategy).
- Consumer sovereignty: consumers collectively determine what is produced by their spending and preferences — firms respond to consumer demand.
- Buyer power (bargaining power of buyers): the degree of influence individual or groups of buyers have over price, terms, and suppliers (used in Porter’s Five Forces).
Note: "purchasing power" refers to consumers’ ability to buy (income/real buying capacity), which is different. Want examples or which term fits a particular context?
