This is very straighforward.
An excess supply of a good implies that inventories have risen to a level higher than producers want to keep. When this happens, the producer(s) have two choices to bring inventory back into line. They can reduce the amount that they produce to a level below the level of sales until such time as the amount of excess inventory is corrected, or, alternatively, they can reduce their selling price in order to induce an increase in sales above their production rate so that the excess inventory is liquidated.
In a market where there are many producers, some will choose one method while others will choose the other, while some may choose a combination of both.
What is important to keep in mind is that not all producers may have the same "cost of production." The reduction in the selling price will make it unprofitable for some producers to remain in business. They can then choose to subsidize the losses in the hope that prices will return to the former level, or they can attempt to reduce their production costs by becoming more efficient.
Those producers that can not achieve a reduction in cost and cannot subsidize their losses eventually will be forced to go out of business. At that point, supple and demand will again be in equilibrium.

How Excess demand and excess supply eliminated by market forces?
Excess demand is easily eliminated by market forces. If either the price or the supply goes up, demand will decrease exponentially.

What is the difference between excess demand and excess supply?
Excess demand (a seller's market) means the product is in short supply and prices will rise. Excess supply (buyer's market) means too much product as compared to demand and therefore prices will fall.
What are two common market forces?
Two common market forces are supply and demand.

Why is the market always moving toward equilibruim?
The market moves toward equilibrium because of the forces of supply and demand. When there is excess demand for a good or service, prices tend to rise, prompting suppliers to increase production. Conversely, when there is excess supply, prices tend to fall, leading to a decrease in production. This constant adjustment helps bring the market back to equilibrium where supply meets demand.

How can one determine the excess supply in a market and calculate it effectively?
To determine excess supply in a market, compare the quantity of a good or service supplied by producers to the quantity demanded by consumers. Excess supply occurs when the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded at a given price. To calculate it effectively, subtract the quantity demanded from the quantity supplied at a specific price point. If the result is positive, there is excess supply in the market.
When does excess supply occur?
Excess supply occurs when, at a given time, the equilibrium price of the market is less than the price that the goods are supplied at.
How does a market that is disturbed from equilibrium return in time to equilibrium?
A market disturbed from equilibrium typically returns to equilibrium through the forces of supply and demand. When prices deviate from their equilibrium level, either excess supply or excess demand creates pressure for prices to adjust. For instance, if there is excess demand, prices will rise, incentivizing producers to increase supply and consumers to reduce their demand until a new equilibrium is reached. Conversely, if there is excess supply, prices will fall, encouraging consumers to buy more and producers to cut back on production, again restoring equilibrium.
What do you have when the actual price in a market is below the equilibrium price?
Excess Supply
What is a buyer's market?
A buyer's market is an excess of supply over demand, which leads to abnormally low prices.
What is buyers market?
