Customer- he is the person who buys the goods, someone who pays for goods or services.
Consumer- He is the person who finally uses or consumes the product.
In some situations Customer and Consumer can be the same person.

Both terms are generally interchanged easily, however, a customer of goods / items that are consumed (consumable items like fuel, water, food, etc) is a consumer, which is a more specific CUSTOMER.
You do not have "consumers" of Cars, but Customers of Cars, while you have consumers of fuel!

Customer is the person who buys goods
whereas consumer can be any member of the family for eg. your father may purchase the food so he shall be the customer of that shop but all the member who are eating it are the consumers
