Konsument

English translation: Consumer

08:47 Jun 21, 2011
Danish to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Accounting / Description of stock holdings
Danish term or phrase: Konsument
One of the industries listed is "Konsument". Normally I would translate this as consumption. However, there is another item named "Forbrug", which is clearly Consumption. So I am a little confused. Does anybody know what the difference is between "Forbrug" and "konsument" and what would be the best translation of "Konsument" if "Consumption is used for "Forbrug"?

Hope anybody can provide a clue
