These are price, quality, choice and convenience.
What are the uses of demand forecasting
Demand forecasting helps reduce risks and make efficient financial decisions that impact profit margins, cash flow, allocation of resources, opportunities for expansion, inventory accounting, operating costs, staffing, and overall spend.

What is demand theory
Demand theory describes the way that changes in the quantity of a good or service demanded by consumers affects its price in the market, The theory states that the higher the price of a product is, all else equal, the less of it will be demanded, inferring a downward sloping demand curve.
What happens when demand increases
Demand Increase: price increases, quantity increases. Demand Decrease: price decreases, quantity decreases.
What does no demand mean

What is demand potential
Potential demand is the demand that could be transformed into effective demand if some requirements are fulfilled.
Measuring it is less precise than measuring actual demand and will require some assumptions (e.g. the “induced demand” value when a new public transport line is opened).
What is long term demand
Long-term demand forecasting is done for greater than a year. This helps identify and plan for seasonality, annual patterns, production capacity, and expansion over a longer period of time.
This drives long-term business strategy (e.g., plans to launch a facility or store internationally and expand into new markets).
What is desire want and demand

Demand refers to the claim, interest, order or ability to purchase that commodity at a given price.
What is a negative demand

Demand analysis is the process of understanding the customer demand for a product or service in a target market.
