Detaliczny

Detaliczny is a Polish adjective used to describe things related to retail trade, i.e., the sale of goods and services to end consumers in small quantities. It is commonly applied to channels, prices, markets, and activities that target individual buyers rather than businesses.

In economic and commercial contexts, the term appears in phrases such as handel detaliczny (retail trade), sprzedaż detaliczna (retail sales), rynek detaliczny (retail market), and cena detaliczna (retail price). The concept is contrasted with handel hurtowy (wholesale trade), which deals with large quantities and business customers. Retail-focused analysis often considers consumer behavior, store networks, pricing strategies, and margins at the retail level.

The retail sector typically features shorter transaction cycles, higher frequency of purchases, and a greater emphasis on customer service, merchandising, and location. Retail prices (ceny detaliczne) are usually set to reflect consumer demand, competition, and cost structures, and they can differ from wholesale prices (ceny hurtowe) or distributor pricing. The term detali czny also appears in discussions of distribution channels, point-of-sale systems, and retail logistics.

Detaliczny as a descriptor is common in business reporting, market research, and policy discussions addressing consumer markets. While primarily used in Polish, the concept aligns with the broader economic distinction between retail and wholesale found in many economies.
