The product will tend to be elastic if the purchase of a product could possibly be delayed.
Inelastic
Either elastic or inelastic
When the demand for a product is inelastic, the product has no close substitutes and can't be easily replaced. Therefore, when the price of the product raises, people buy roughly the same amount of the product because they need it too much. This is in comparison to an elastic demand, where people will buy less of a product when it becomes more expensive.
Elasticity of supply describes how a product's quantity affects its price. Milk, for example, has an elastic supply - the quantity goes up and the price goes down. Or, as the quantity is limited, the price goes up. Inelastic supply implies that availability does not affect price, such as with airplane flight tickets.
Difference is that inelastic demand people need to have that item no matter what the cost. An example would be insulin for diabetic people. Elastic demand is when someone doesn't need to buy a product if the price changes. Example is ramen noodles. If they cost $100 per packet people wouldn't buy them.
Inelastic

The demand tends to be elastic b/c the purchase can be delayed and they don't need it at that moment.
Either elastic or inelastic
the market demand for the product. undefined. more inelastic than the market demand for the product. more elastic than the market demand for the product
Elasticity is "a measure of responsiveness that tells us how a dependent variable such as a quantity responds to a change in an independent variable such as price." Basically, that means that elastic product's demand is affected by price and an inelastic product's demand is unaffected by price.For example: if a product is elastic, the price goes up and demand goes down, or the price goes down and demand goes up. Examples are electronics, candy and junk food, and even cars.If a product is inelastic, the demand will stay the same no matter the price. Examples are medical supplies.
