Endverbraucher vs Kunde

customer

'Kunde' and 'Endverbraucher' can both refer to a person who buys a product or service. 'Kunde' is more general: a business or company can also be a Kunde if it buys something. 'Endverbraucher' is more specific and means the person who ultimately uses something themselves and does not resell it. The words can be confused because an Endverbraucher is often also a Kunde. When talking about sales, trade, or marketing, 'Endverbraucher' is more precise. In normal conversation, 'Kunde' is usually enough.

Visual example for Kunde
Endverbraucher

Wir liefern nicht an Händler, sondern direkt an den Endverbraucher.
