Swedish term or phrase: marknadens aktörer
De gällande normerna för byggande ger inte tillräcklig vägledning för att undvika svåra konsekvenser vid allvarliga händelser, varför det krävs särskild kunskap och omtanke av marknadens aktörer i processer där ny-, till- och ombyggnad av sjukhuskomplex planeras och byggs.

neutral  Charlesp: this is how it is ordinarily translated, but "players" often implies a connotation which may not be wanted, implying certain behaviour beyond the neutral being involved in a market.

neutral  Thomas Johansson: "Marknadens aktörer" can also include neutral agents such as government agencies/projects, while "market players" would (unless I am wrong...(?)) suggest speculators, stock market players, etc.

market actors


Explanation:
Market actors

Actors on the market or market actors are also used regularly.

Try googling them and see which fits your context best.

Actors (in a financial/EU context)
http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/consultations/docs/hedge...

The financial crisis has exposed a series of vulnerabilities in the global financial system. It has also underscored the powerful interdependencies that exist between financial market actors and has demonstrated how rapidly risks crystallising in one sector can be transmitted around the financial system. In order to draw meaningful lessons, it is therefore necessary to take full account of the actions and interactions of all major financial market actors in triggering the crisis and amplifying its effects.
