Direct consumption refers to the purchase of goods and services that satisfy a person's needs or wants immediately. Indirect consumption, on the other hand, refers to the purchase of goods that are used to produce other goods and services, but are not necessarily consumed by the person who buys them.
Let's say, for example, you purchase a new car. The car is a direct consumer good, as it will be used to transport you from point A to point B. However, the steel and other materials used to make the car are indirect consumer goods, as they will not be immediately consumed by the person who buys them.
