1.Direct and indirect demand: 2.Derived demand and autonomous demand: 3.Durable and non durable goods demand: .....

TYPES OF DEMAND:


1.Direct and indirect demand:

 

Producers’ goods and consumers’ goods: demand for goods that are directly used for consumption by the ultimate consumer is known as direct demand (example: Demand for T shirts). On the other hand demand for goods that are used by producers for producing goods and services. (example: Demand for cotton by a textile mill)

 

2.Derived demand and autonomous demand:

 

When a produce derives its usage from the use of some primary product it is known as derived demand. (example: demand for tyres derived from demand for car) Autonomous demand is the demand for a product that can be independently used. (example: demand for a washing machine)

 

3.Durable and non durable goods demand:

 

Durable goods are those that can be used more than once, over a period of time (example: Microwave oven) Non durable goods can be used only once (example: Band-aid)

 

4.Firm and industry demand:

 

Firm demand is the demand for the product of a particular firm. (example: Dove soap) The demand for the product of a particular industry is industry demand (example: demand for steel in India )

 

5.Total market and market segment demand:

 

A particular segment of the markets demand is called as segment demand (example: demand for 21 laptops by engineering students) the sum total of the demand for laptops by various segments in India is the total market demand. (example: demand for laptops in India)

 

6.Short run and long run demand:

 

 

Short run demand refers to demand with its immediate reaction to price changes and income fluctuations. Long run demand is that which will ultimately exist as a result of the changes in pricing, promotion or product improvement after market adjustment with sufficient time.

 

7.Joint demand and Composite demand:

 

When two goods are demanded in conjunction with one another at the same time to satisfy a single want, it is called as joint or complementary demand. (example: demand for petrol and two wheelers) A composite demand is one in which a good is wanted for several different uses. ( example: demand for iron rods for various purposes)

 

8.Price demand, income demand and cross demand:

 

Demand for commodities by the consumers at alternative prices are called as price demand. Quantity demanded by the consumers at alternative levels of income is income demand. Cross demand refers to the quantity demanded of commodity ‘X’ at a price of a related commodity ‘Y’ which may be a substitute or complementary to X.
