Goods that are generally inelastic are goods that everyone would still buy even if there was a large price increase. Many people drink milk. If the price of milk doubled, consumers would still buy the milk because there are very few substitutes to milk. This is an inelastic product.
the price elasticity of necessary good is always inelastic because these goods are vital for human existence and people will have to acquire them no matter their prices in order to ensure survival, hence their inelasticity.
demand for goods that although its price is increased , you still want to buy it
a price increase does not have a significant impact on buying habits
Price inelastic
Elastic goods usually have many substitutes, so changes in price will decrease demand. Inelastic goods, on the other hand, have very few substitutes, so demand isn't generally affected by price change.

Price inelastic
Price inelastic means that the supply or demand of a product or service is unaffected by any changes in the price.
If a modest price increase has little no no effect on the demand it means that the product is inelastic. Inelastic goods are those that people will need no matter what the price is, such as most medications, and food as a whole (not specific brands). Elastic goods are defined as goods were the demand fluctuates as the price fluctuates. These are different brands of foods (If Dole starts to charge more for apple juice consumers will switch to Tropicana orange juice.)
Inelastic goods are those that we have to buy no matter what the price goes up to. For example gasoline, we can cut back but we have to have the gasoline at some point for our cars. Heating oil for our homes is another example. When there is no substitute for a product and it is necessary for everyday life it is inelastic. How about health care? Can we survive without a heart transplant, or a life saving operation?
elastic
If a change or increase in price will affect demand. Elastic goods are usually those that the consumer does not NEED to purchase, such as luxury goods. When the producer increases price, demand will usually increase. Inelastic goods are those that the consumer needs to buy no matter what the price is, such as milk or salt. A sale or price increase won't affect the demand at all.
