Excess demand occurs when demand outweighs supply. This means there is a shortage of a good.
Shortage of supply, or Excess/surplus of demand
Excess demand on a graph can be identified where the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied, resulting in a shortage. This is shown by a point above the equilibrium price on the supply and demand graph.
A shortage is when there is a LACK (not enough) of that particular resource/product/item. A surplus is when there is EXCESS, or too much of a resource/product/item.
An antonym for "shortage" is "surplus." While a shortage refers to a lack or insufficiency of something, a surplus indicates an excess or abundance. In economic terms, a surplus occurs when the supply of a good or resource exceeds the demand for it.

The price declines until demand increases.
When there is too much demand for available goods/services, there is a shortage. To meet this excess demand, firms increase production (at higher costs) until demand = supply. Thus, a shortage generally implies price is too low.
If the supply is less than the demand, there will be a shortage and price increase.
If the supply is less than the demand, there will be a shortage and price increase.
There is no definitive evidence that there will be such a shortage
An excess supply of goods or services on a supply and demand graph can be caused by factors such as overproduction, decreased consumer demand, or changes in market conditions that result in more products being available than consumers are willing to buy at a given price.
