Termékeszközök

Termékeszközök, also known as "producer goods" or "capital goods" in English, refers to items that are used in the production of other goods and services. These are not final products intended for direct consumption by individuals but rather are instruments or materials employed by businesses and industries to create wealth. The category encompasses a wide range of tangible assets.

Examples of termékeszközök include machinery, tools, buildings, vehicles used for business purposes, and raw materials. Land used for agricultural or industrial purposes can also be considered a form of termékeszköz. These goods are essential components of the production process, contributing to the efficiency and scale of economic output.

The distinction between termékeszközök and consumer goods is fundamental in economics. Consumer goods are those purchased and used by households for personal satisfaction, such as food, clothing, and electronics. Termékeszközök, on the other hand, are part of the supply side of the economy, enabling the creation of both consumer and further producer goods. Investments in termékeszközök are a key driver of economic growth, as they enhance a nation's productive capacity. The depreciation and eventual replacement of these goods also form an important part of economic accounting and business cycles.
