It is a good way to get some insight of a particular demand. Demand functions are usually difficult to calculate, but elasticity is easier.
The elasticity of demand shows the percentage change of the quantity demanded due to a one percent change in prices.For instance, the bigger this index is, the steeper is the reduction in demand of this product when the price rises.
This index can be really useful for governments. If they want to tax a certain product, they'd better tax the more inelastic ones, because consumption will be reduced only a little.
