What is supply and demand in a competitive market?

In competitive markets, supply and demand govern the ways that buyers and sellers determine how much of a good or service to trade in reaction to price changes. The law of demand describes the behavior of buyers in markets: As the price (P) of a good or service rises, the quantity demanded (Q D) of that good or service falls.

Are supply and demand connected?

“There is massive pent-up consumer demand, but it’s important to have supply and demand connected because when you have a supply shortage you don’t have the products consumers want.” After huge disruptions over the last year, the intricate networks by which major industries keep shelves full and services available have become frayed.

What is the difference between demand and equilibrium price?

Demand: The quantity of a good or service that buyers are willing and able to buy at all possible prices during a certain time period. Equilibrium price: The price at which quantity supplied and quantity demanded are equal. The point at which the supply and demand curves intersect.
