DEMAND
“Demand for a commodity refers to the quantity of the commodity which an individual consumer or a household is willing to purchase per unit of time at a particular price”. Demand for a commodity implies –
a) Desire of the consumer to buy the product,
b) His willingness to buy the product, and
c) Sufficient purchasing power in his pocket to buy the product
There are certain commodities which are generally demanded by individual consumers, e.g., footwear etc. However there are commodities which are demanded by households, like refrigerator etc. When we are dealing with a good demanded by individual, we call it individual demand, while if the good is demanded by household we call it household demand. When we study demand for a commodity by both individuals and households, we call it market or aggregate demand.
