In economics, demand refers to how much of a good or service consumers are willing to buy at a given price. The law of demand states that as price increases, demand generally falls, and vice versa. The law of demand for a given product or service can be plotted on a chart as a demand curve.
In economics, demand is the quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a given time. [1][2] In economics "demand" for a commodity is not the same thing as "desire" for it. It refers to both the desire to purchase and the ability to pay for a commodity. [2]
Economists use the term demand to refer to the amount of some good or service consumers are willing and able to purchase at each price. Demand is based on needs and wants—a consumer may be able to differentiate between a need and a want, but from an economist’s perspective, they are the same thing. Demand is also based on ability to pay.
Individual demand and Market demand: Individual demand refers to the demand of a single consumer, while market demand is the sum of all individual demands for a particular good or service.
