What is the difference between primary market and secondary market?

[Mohammed Arshath Ali]

Primary Market is the market in which the shares are offered directly by the company while starting the company or by IPO.

Secondary Market is the market in which the shares are traded through exchanges(NSE & BSE).

[Viswanathan]

Primary market is the place where we buy the shares directly from the company through ipo

Secondary market is the place where we exchange & trade the shares

[Elanthiraiyan]

When a share is first introduced in share market for trading it said as Primary market /IPO

After the issue of IPO next trading is called as secondary market

 

[Paramaguru N]

Primary Market is the one where new IPO are introduced.

Secondary market is the one where trading takes place where the transfer of share happens between buyers and sellers.

Market place where new shares are listed out as IPO’s this, supply funds to new enterprises also supports existing companies for expansion or other investments
