Depreciation occurs due to several factors, including wear and tear from usage, obsolescence from technological advancements, and market value fluctuations. Over time, physical assets like machinery and vehicles lose value as they age and become less efficient. Additionally, changes in consumer preferences or the introduction of newer models can make existing assets less desirable, further contributing to their depreciation. Economic factors such as inflation can also influence the overall value of assets.
