Mercado demandante (en el sentido de oferta y demanda)
Los principales mercados *que demandan* estos productos son xxxx.
The main markets requiring this products are xxxx
My doubt is about if it is correct the use of "demanding" as in many options it has a negative connotation, or if for offer/sale it is ok to use it or is better to use require.
Thanks.

where there is demand for these products
"Demand" is an economic term, contrasted with "supply." They are not the main markets FOR these products; just because there is demand does not mean there is a sale.
Just because "conversational English" is required does not warrant materially changing the meaning of the sentence. The sentence discusses "demand," and you leave it out, you leave out the essence of what is being said.
