How it's used
Refers specifically to someone involved in manufacturing or tangible production industries rather than just general commerce or finance. It carries a slightly formal or old-fashioned tone, often used to describe figures from the mid-twentieth century who built factories or infrastructure. In modern daily conversation, people are much more likely to use 商人 to refer to a general businessperson.
