Ágazatban

Ágazatban is the inessive form of ágazat, meaning sector or branch. It denotes being inside a specific sector or field of activity. In Hungarian, the suffix -ban/-ben marks location or domain; thus ágazatban translates roughly as “in the sector.”

Usage of ágazatban is common in economic and policy writing to indicate the sphere of activity or scope of a statistic, regulation, or event. It often appears in phrases such as közlekedési ágazatban, energiaágazatban, or mezőgazdasági ágazatban, which mean “in the transport sector,” “in the energy sector,” and “in the agricultural sector.”

Formation and nuance: Ágazatban is formed by attaching the locative suffix -ban to the noun ágazat. It characterizes location within a sector rather than the entire economy. While it can stand alone in context, it is typically part of a larger noun phrase describing a field of activity.
