When prices increase and consumers buy less, it is referred to as "demand contraction" or a decrease in demand. This phenomenon can occur due to higher prices leading to a reduction in consumer purchasing power, prompting them to either buy less of the same goods or substitute them with cheaper alternatives. It is often illustrated by the downward slope of the demand curve in economics.
consumers buy the item as a substitute for other more costly items
More is demanded at lower prices due to the law of demand, which states that as the price of a good or service decreases, consumers are more willing and able to purchase it. Lower prices increase the purchasing power of consumers, making it easier for them to buy more. Additionally, lower prices can attract new buyers who may not have considered the product at higher prices, further increasing overall demand.
Demand is the general willingness of consumers to purchase a product at various prices.
Its raising prices when consumers have no choice but to buy from the company, its often a symptom of privately owned monopolies such as water or train companies in the UK.

The process you are referring to is known as inflation. When consumers have more disposable income and are willing to pay higher prices, demand for goods increases, leading to higher market prices. This rise in prices can erode the purchasing power of money, resulting in inflationary pressure, which is often exacerbated by an increase in the money supply. As prices rise, the value of money decreases, meaning consumers can buy less with the same amount of currency.
