Intermediate goods and final goods are distinguished on the basis of following points :
| Basis of Difference | Final Goods | Intermediate Goods |
| Use | Final goods are those products that are ready for use by the final consumers. | Intermediate goods are those products which are not ready for final use and are used only as raw materials for further production. |
| Further Processing | Such goods do not require any further processing. | These goods require further processing and go through various stages of production. |
| Resale | These goods are not meant for resale | Such goods are resold for further production. |
| Example | For example, cotton purchased by a consumer for personal consumption is a final good. | For example, cotton purchased by a textile industry for making cloth is an intermediate good. |
