Part of me thinks there may be, but the way you sometimes see them used interchangeably also makes me think that consumer has taken on much of the same meaning as customer. Maybe depends on from which context you’re speaking, i.e. out/in business?

In capitalism people are called consumers. This is the working class, people who make up society. Families and communities. But to capitalists we are consumers. Capitalism doesn’t meet the needs of people, it exploits people for profit. Looking at people as “consumers” is not a great way to see people.
