German term or phrase: Einkaufsmarkt
"Die Geschäftsleitung entschied sich zur Abkehr vom traditionellen Großhandel und damit zur Forcierung eigener Produktlinien mit einheitlicher Gestaltung und schlüssigen Vermarktungskonzepten. Neue Einkaufsmärkte in Europa und Asien wurden erschlossen. Eigene Produktlinien sind entstanden."

Was ist hier gemeint? "buyer's market", "consumer market", oder was anderes?

purchase market
Explanation:
Ich verstehe hier eher darunter, dass neue Einkaufsmöglichkeiten erschlossen wurden, wo die neue Produktreihe unter z.B Tip bei Real, Hausmarken eben, eingekauft bzw. produziert werden, im Gegensatz zum geläufigen weg des Einkaufs beim Großhändler und dann weiteren Vertriebs, aber eben keine eigene Hausmarke

Explanation:
It sounds as if it means retail (Einzelhandel), as opposed to wholesale (Grosshandel). What type of products are involved here?

Ok, I reread the context and realized I was mistaken. Haste, and all that...
Sabine is closer with "purchase ...", but I think it should be re-worded to something like

"(tapping new markets) for purchasing goods/products/whatever", or similar
