Nachfragenden

Nachfragenden is a German term used as a nominalized plural referring to people who make a demand or request. In everyday usage it designates those who ask for goods, services, or information, and in more technical contexts it is used to describe the demand side of a market.

In economics, the Nachfragenden are the buyers and consumers whose preferences, income, and expectations influence the quantity of goods demanded at given prices. The term is closely related to Nachfrage (demand) and to Nachfrager (demander). While Nachfrager is a common term for individual buyers, die Nachfragenden emphasizes the group of agents that collectively forms demand and can be used in discussions of market dynamics and policy effects on consumption.

In public administration and research contexts, Nachfragenden may refer to individuals or groups who actively request services, information, or redress from institutions. For example, in a survey design one may distinguish between Nachfragenden and Anbieter (suppliers) to analyze interaction on a service market or in user-need assessments.

Form and usage: Nachfragenden is the declined plural form used in cases like den Nachfragenden (dative) or der Nachfragenden (genitive). The base noun is built from the noun Nachfrage or the verb nachfragen through nominalization. It is regarded as relatively formal or technical, and appears chiefly in academic, policy, or market-analysis writing.
