Meaning…
Refers to the desire, backed by the necessary ability to pay.
Demand is a buyer's willingness and ability to pay a price for a specific quantity of a good or service.
Demand refers to how much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers at various prices. The quantity demanded is the amount of a product people are willing to buy at a certain price.
The relationship between price and quantity demanded is known as the demand.

Willing to purchase:Being willing to purchase simply means that
one likes an item enough to want to buy it, and this is usually what people think of when they encounter the concept of demand. However, it's important to remember that, while it's good to want things, desire to purchase is not the only requirement for economic demand.
![Page 5: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Able to purchase:Wanting to purchase an item doesn't mean a
whole lot if one doesn't have the means to make the transaction happen. Therefore, ability to purchase is another important factor of demand. Economists don't specify how an individual must be able to pay for an item- she can pay with cash, check, credit card, money borrowed from friends or taken from the piggy bank, etc.

Ready to purchase:Demand is, by its nature, a current quantity,
so an individual is only said to demand something if she is willing and able to purchase it now as opposed to some point in the future.

Types of DemandTypes of Demand -Consumer Goods and producer goods Perishable and durable goods Autonomous and derived demand Individual demand and market Demand Firm and Industry demand
Others:1. Income demand- Demand for normal goods (price –ve, income +ve)- Demand for inferior goods (eg., coarse grain)
Cross demand- Demand for substitutes or competitive goods (eg.,tea & coffee,
bread and rice)- Demand for complementary goods (eg., pen & ink)
Joint demand (same as complementary, eg., pen & ink) Composite demand (eg., coal & electricity) Direct demand (eg., ice-creams) Derived demand (eg., TV & TV mechanics) Competitive demand (eg., desi ghee and vegetable oils)

Determinants of Demand
Economic demand- how much of an item one is willing, ready and able to purchase- depends on a number of different factors. For example, people probably care about how much an item costs when deciding how much to purchase. They might also consider how much money they make when making purchasing decisions, and so on.
![Page 11: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Price as a Determinant of Demand Price, in many cases, is likely to be the most
fundamental determinant of demand, since it's often the first thing that people think about when deciding how much of an item to buy. The vast majority of goods and services obey what economists call the law of demand- that, all else being equal, the quantity demanded of an item decreases when the price increases and vice versa. (There are some exceptions to this rule, but they are few and far between.)
![Page 13: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Income as a Determinant of Demand People certainly look at their incomes when
deciding how much of an item to buy, but the relationship between income and demand isn't as straightforward as one might think. Do people buy more or less of an item when their incomes increase? As it turns out, that's a more complicated question than it might initially seem. For example, if a person were to win the lottery, he would likely take more rides on private jets than he did before. On the other hand, the lottery winner would probably take fewer rides on the subway than before.
![Page 15: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Economists categorize items as normal goods or inferior goods on exactly this basis. If a good is a normal good, then the quantity demanded goes up when income increases, and the quantity demanded goes down when income decreases. If a good is an inferior good, then the quantity demanded goes down when income increases and goes up when income decreases.
![Page 16: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In our example, private jet rides are a normal good and subway rides are an inferior good. There are two things to note about normal and inferior goods:
What is a normal good for one person may be an inferior good for another person, and vice versa. For an overall market, a good is normal if market demand increases when income increases, on average, for the people in that market, and a good is inferior if market demand decreases when average income increases.
It's possible for a good to be neither normal nor inferior- for example, it's quite possible that the demand for toilet paper neither increases nor decreases when income changes!
![Page 17: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Prices of Related Goods as Determinants of Demand When deciding how much of a good they
want to purchase, people take into account the prices of both substitute goods and complementary goods. Substitute goods, or substitutes, are goods that are used in place of one another. For example, Coke and Pepsi are substitutes because people tend to, well, substitute one for the other. Complementary goods, or complements, on the other hand, are goods that people tend to use together. DVD players and DVDs are examples of complements, as are computers and high-speed internet access.
![Page 20: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The key feature of substitutes and complements is the fact that a change in price of one of the goods has an impact on the demand for the other good. For substitutes, an increase in the price of one of the goods will increase demand for the substitute good. (It's probably not surprising that an increase in the price of Coke would increase the demand for Pepsi as some consumers switch over from Coke to Pepsi.) It's also the case that a decrease in the price of one of the goods will decrease demand for the substitute good.
![Page 21: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For complements, an increase in the price of one of the goods will decrease demand for the complementary good. Conversely, a decrease in the price of one of the goods will increase demand for the complementary good. (For example, decreases in the prices of video game consoles serves in part to increase demand for video games.)
![Page 22: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Goods that don't have either the substitute or complement relationship are called unrelated goods. In addition, sometimes goods can have both a substitute and a complement relationship to some degree- for example, gasoline is a complement to even fuel-efficient cars, but a fuel-efficient car is a substitute for gasoline to some degree.
![Page 23: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Tastes as a Determinant of Demand How much of a particular good or service
also depends on an individual's taste for the item. In general, economists use the term "tastes" as a catchall category for consumers' attitude towards a product. In this sense, if consumers' tastes for a good or service increase, then their quantity demanded increases, and vice versa.
![Page 25: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Expectations as a Determinant of Demand Today's demand can also depend on
consumers' expectations of future prices, incomes, prices of related goods, and so on. For example, consumers demand more of an item today if they expect the price to increase increase in the future. Similarly, people who expect their incomes to increase in the future will often increase their consumption today.
![Page 27: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Number of Buyers as a Determinant of Market Demand Although not a determinant of individual
demand, the number of buyers in a market is clearly an important factor in calculating market demand. Not surprisingly, market demand increases when the number of buyers increases, and market demand decreases when the number of buyers decreases.
![Page 28: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Aggregate or Market Demand Curve
The market demand curve describes the quantity demanded by the entire market for a category of goods or services. An example of this is gasoline prices overall. When the cost of oil goes up, all gas stations must raise their prices to cover their costs. Even if the price drops 50%, drivers aren't going to increase the amount bought by that much. That's why, when the price skyrockets from $3.20 - $4.00 a gallon, people get very upset. They can't cut back their driving to work, school and the grocery store very easily, and so they are forced to pay more for gas.
![Page 37: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
By the way, this lowers their incomes for things other than gas. Income is another determinant of demand, so that means the demand curve for other things they would like to buy, like ice cream, will drop. This is called a demand shift. In this case, the entire demand curve for ice cream shifts to the left. Since buyers have less income, they will purchase a lower quantity of ice cream even at the same price.

Exceptions to law of demandSome special varieties of inferior goods are termed as Giffen
goods. Cheaper varieties of this category like bajra, cheaper vegetable like potato come under this category. A few goods like diamonds etc are purchased by the rich and wealthy sections of the society. The prices of these goods are so high that they are beyond the reach of the common man.
Certain things become the necessities of modern life. So we have to purchase them despite their high price. A consumer’s ignorance is another factor that at times induces him to purchase more of the commodity at a higher price. Emergencies like war, famine etc. negate the operation of the law of demand. Households also act speculators. A change in fashion and tastes affects the market for a commodity. When a broad toe shoe replaces a narrow toe, no amount of reduction in the price of the latter is sufficient to clear the stocks.
Though as a rule when the prices of normal goods rise, the demand for them decreases but there may be a few cases where the law may not operate.
![Page 55: Demand Analysis](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102823/547d5986b4af9f73428b4642/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The law of demand does not apply in every case and situation. The circumstances when the law of demand becomes ineffective are known as exceptions of the law. Some of these important exceptions are as under.
(1) Prestige goods/Veblen goods. There are certain commodities like diamond, sports, cars etc., . which are purchased as a mark of distinction in society. If the price of these goods rise, the demand for them may increase instead of falling.
(2) Price expectations. If people expect a further rise in the price of a particular commodity, they may buy more inspite of rise in price: The violation of the law in this case is only temporary.
(3) Ignorance of the consumer. If, the Consumer is ignorant *about the rise in price of goods, he may buy more at a higher price.
(4) Giffen goods. If the prices of basic goods, (potatoes, bajra, sugar etc) on which the poor spend a large part of their incomes declines, the poor increase the demand for superior goods, hence when the price of Giffen good falls, its demand also falls. There is a positive price effect in the case of Giffen goods. •

Importance of Cross Elasticity Of DemandThe concept is of very great importance in
changing the price of the products having substitutes and complementary goods .
In demand forecastingHelps in measuring interdependence of
price of commodity .Multiproduct firms use these concept to
measure the effect of change in price of one product on the demand of their other product
