If you have lots of product A, and all of your competitors also have lots of product A, you may need to reduce price in order to attract custom to your business and get a head start on your competition. If this process is repeated by all your competitiors, you may need to reduce your price further and so on.

The opposite applies when you have lots of product B and your competitors have little or no product B. You could then increase prices as there are few options for the customer, who will have little option but to pay the prices you ask.

( To Producer)

If you produce product A which is highly demanded in the market you may set your price high, but as the demand of the product decline you will be forced to reduce you price to maintain your costomers.

(To Consumers)

If a product is sold at a high price then you will buy/demand less quantities(necessary to purchase) but if the price decline then the demand will increase. But this is affected by several other factors, such as necessity of the product, usage of the product (technically we can say ELASTICITY of the product)

(Law of Demand)

The law of demand states that "the higher the price the lower the quantity demanded, the lower the price the higher the quantity demanded.
