Witnessing in the market place simply means telling others about Jesus in public places. It comes from two ideas: "witness" and "market place".
The apostles and the first disciples endeavored to serve as a "witness" to what Jesus did. After Jesus ascended to Heaven, they told people about what they saw and heard, like a witness in a court room. In that time, great importance was given to multiple witnesses having stories that supported the same idea.
The market place was the most public place you could visit in Jesus' day. Trade, bartering, government announcements, and great discussions happened in the market place.
Those ideas sometimes serve as a basis for public evangelism today. Using the phrase "witnessing in the market place" tells us what and where - and may give some justification for doing so ("the disciples did it").
