grammar

We do not always know what products are there on the market.
In this sentence, I'd like to know the grammatical function of 'there'.
Is the sentence grammatically correct.

Re: grammar

Let's start by writing the sentence as i would be in proper English:

We do not always know what products are out there on the market.

We do not always know what products are on the market.

out there: = (on the market) somewhere in the world

Re: grammar

I think you meant:

We do not always know what products there are on the market.


Is that what you meant to write?

Re: grammar

I think he was seeing it as 'there' = position/location, as in:
"I'm not going in there—it's freezing."

No doubt, he will clarify this.
