Inelastic demand is when the quantity demanded of a good doesn't respond strongly to changes in price
The percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price (% change in Qd < % change in P)
Equilibrium price (Ep) is less than 1 (Ep < 1)
The demand curve for an inelastic good would be fairly steep
Hope this helps!

Somebody else's response:
when demand doesnt alter greatly in relation to an increase or decrease of price
Perfectly inelastic demand, perfectly elastic demand, elastic demand, inelastic demand etc.
No, the demand for insulin is not perfectly inelastic.

What is inelastic demand
Inelastic Demand & Elastic Demand
The demand for insulin is considered inelastic, meaning that changes in price do not significantly affect the quantity demanded.
inelastic demand
it is perfectly inelastic
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
for elasticity less than one the demand will be inelastic, i.e there will be very less effect of price on the demand.It will be relative inelastic or inelastic.
