Contraction of demandContraction of demand is the fall in demand due to the rise in price, all other factors remaining constant. Shift in the demand curveUsually demand curves are drawn based on the assumption except for price all other factors remain the same. But there might be instances when demand may be affected by factors other than price. This will result in the change in demand although the price will remain the same. This change in demand may cause the demand curve to SHIFT inwards or outwards.Shift of demand curve OUTWARDS shows an increase in demand at the same price level. It is known as INCREASE IN DEMAND.Shift of demand curve INWARDS shows that less is demanded at the same price level. It is known as a FALL IN DEMAND.

When supply increases in a competitive market?

There are two ways for an increase in supply to occur (empirically); there can be a shift in the supply curve or a movement along the curve. `Ideally for businesses and consumers, a new equilibrium point is reached that allows for a good price for both parties, and no surplus or shortage. Generally, supply increases with increased demand if the good is available and not too scarce or limited. However, often logistic curves are used to predict demand thus giving businesses a "leg up"on how much of each good they should supply. John Wal of Wal-Mart is known for his money-saving techniques involving calculus and logistic curves to monitor supply and demand.
