Yes, there will always be some demand for inferior goods; some people will always have lower incomes that force them to consume the inferior goods. However, the demand for these goods can fluctuate based on GDP and the general state of the economy.

∙ 8y agoYes, given a choice of 3-4 prices most people will always pick the lowest. I fit many toilets, sinks and faucets and many of my clients insist on the cheapest even if I tell them these are inferior products. The growing availability of Chinese items in this market emphasizes this tendency to buy cheap.

The term inferior goods refers to what kind of goods?
goods that consumers demand less of when their incomes increases
How does consumer income affect the demand for normal and inferior goods?
A consumers income can affect their demand for most goods, for normal goods if the consumers income increases then there is a demand for more normal good, but a fall in income would cause a shift to the left for the demand curve, this shift is called a decrease in command. For inferior goods, an increase in income causes demand for these goods to fall, inferior goods are goods that you would buy in smaller quantities, or not at all, if your income were to rise and you could afford something better.
How do you show that in a two good world neither good is inferior?
If the income elasticity of demand is negative for both goods, then they are both not inferior goods.
What happens to demand for normal and inferior goods when there is a decrease in your income?
the demand for inferior goods varies inversely with income. If your income rises then the demand for rice will decrease. the demand for normal goods varies directly with income. If your income rises the demand for these goods will rise as well. Most goods are normal goods ie, cars, new homes, furniture, steaks, and motel rooms. Economics, Stephen L Slavin 10e

What is the difference between normal and inferior goods
Difference between giffen goods and inferior goods?
In consumer theory, an inferior goodis a good that decreases in demand when consumer income rises, unlike normal goods, for which the opposite is observed.[1] It is a good that consumers demand increases when their income increases. [2]Inferiority, in this sense, is an observable fact relating to affordability rather than a statement about the quality of the good. As a rule, too much of a good thing is easily achieved with such goods, and as more costly substitutes that offer more pleasure or at least variety become available, the use of the inferior goods diminishes.
What is the income elasticity of an inferior good?
goods whose demand falls as consumer income increases
