There is serious reason to think about "consumers" and "consumption" as an important social construct and function of human beings which function presents the very basement of any society understood as a complex phenomenon that exists on the interhuman relationship network.
So far "consumers" and "consumption" were understood as a target indicator and social construct (array of varialbes) important for such knowledge dommains as "marketing", "public relations", "advertising", "public policy", etc. We have enough data to postulate that "consumer" should not be regarded as a "target social construct" but rather as a "source social conutruct" for any knowledge-producing activity. Therefore all knowledge domains listed above should be regarded rather as pillars of consumerology - science about consumers and consumption.
Taken from that perspective, consumerology though is not limited to "market-production" frame. The very foundation for consumerology is provided by ecobiological and neurosciences in a widest sense of these concepts. Just to give some examples: biochemistry, ecology, psychodynamic psychology, cognitive psychology, psychophysiology are also among the pillars of consumerological studies.
Some very general postulates of consumerology:

- consumerology knowledge could be presented as a mathematic model
- consumer, consumption behavior and needs are the main objects of consumerological studies
