Two-sided market

A two-sided market is like a marketplace where two different groups of people come together to buy and sell things from each other. For example, if you go to a grocery store, the grocery store has a two-sided market: customers come to buy groceries and the store sells the groceries to them. In this case, the two sides are the customers (who buy the groceries) and the store (who sells the groceries). The same idea applies to other two-sided markets, like online marketplaces and stock exchanges, where different kinds of buyers and sellers come together to buy and sell things.
