Wholesale Trade Agents & Brokers

Part of Wholesale Electronic Markets & Agents & Brokers

Wholesale electronic markets and agents and brokers (NAICS 4251) comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating electronic platforms for buying and selling goods and services, as well as agents and brokers who facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers without taking title to the goods themselves. This industry group includes online marketplaces, auction platforms, and commission-based intermediaries that connect suppliers with buyers across various product categories and industries. These intermediaries play a critical role in the modern economy by reducing transaction costs, improving price discovery, and enabling commerce between parties that might otherwise struggle to connect, serving as essential infrastructure for both B2B and B2C commerce.
