How it's used
Refers specifically to the general availability of goods across shops and retail outlets rather than a single marketplace. It is frequently used when discussing the presence, scarcity, or variety of products currently accessible to the public. It carries a slightly more formal tone than simply saying 舖頭 or 街市.
Examples
This new phone model will be available on the market very soon.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to refer to a specific physical wet market or grocery store, as those are better described as 街市 or 超市. It is an abstract term for the overall retail landscape.
