The principle of supply and demand affects pricing in the market by influencing the balance between the availability of a product (supply) and the desire for that product (demand). For example, if there is a high demand for a limited supply of a product, the price is likely to increase as sellers can charge more due to the scarcity of the item. Conversely, if there is a surplus of a product and low demand, the price may decrease as sellers lower prices to attract buyers.
