A final good or consumer good is a commodity that is used by the consumer to satisfy current wants or needs, rather than to produce another good. A toilet or a bicycle is a final good, whereas the parts purchased to manufacture it are intermediate goods.

When used in measures of national income and output, the term "final goods" includes only new goods. For example, gross domestic product (GDP) excludes items counted in an earlier year to prevent double counting based on resale of items. In that context, the economic definition of goods also includes what are commonly known as services.

Manufactured goods are goods that have been processed in any way. They are distinct from raw materials but include both intermediate goods and final goods.
