Which has a better scope and why: Business Law or Consumer Law ?

First of all, both are very different areas and they shouldn't be compared, but I would still answer it as to the best of my knowledge. There is no official data available in India about the number of lawyers in both areas and about their salaries so it becomes tough to compare both. Business law is about disputes between firms, companies, partnerships, and small businesses. All these people or most of these companies, partnerships, and firms have their fixed lawyers and when any dispute arises their lawyers fight (I mean the same lawyer for that company), but when it comes to consumer protection laws, it is emerging day by day because awareness among the consumers is increasing and the number of cases is also increasing day by day and they don't have any fixed lawyers. So, from this point of view, consumer protection law has more scope.

Hello everyone, Comparing business laws and consumer laws is like walking on two divergent of a road. However, in today’s time, there are consumers who are prone to grievances and thus a need for lawyers dealing in consumer laws specially are preferred. Also, not much lawyers practice consumer law specifically thus the scope here is widening every day. Business law however is something that includes a no. of laws ranging from Contract Act, Partnership Act, and sale of goods act. Studying business laws is much theoretical and consuming but yes it has a much broader scope as contracts and partnership related matters arise every now and then. There are contracts and partnerships made every day thus an advocate having specialization in business law is preferred for drafting the contracts deciding terms redressing grievances and other ancillary issues. Consumer laws however a widening field of law but business law is ever widening and omnipresent field.
