A combination of three things:

(a) people's willingness to pay for the product:
(b) the number of them (e.g., the size of the potential market), and
(c) the amount of income they have to spend on the product.

There are many factors that determine/ affect demand here are a few basic factors;

  • Own Price - The price of the good itself
  • Money Income - This is the actual amount of money you earn, i.e. $X
  • Price of Related Goods - the price of BMW cars increase, demand for Mercedes-Benz cars will increase
  • Taste - This refers to a consumers preference for a good, if taste increases demand increases.
  • Expectations of future prices - If you expect the price of TVs to rise soon, demand for TVs will increase now.
There are some other factors like; Weather and Shock.

If it's wet during the summer not many Ice Creams will be demanded

If there is a demand that Bread causes Cancer demand for Bread will fall dramatically
