Supply and demand is perhaps one of the most fundamental concepts of

economics and it is the backbone of a market economy. Demand refers to how
much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers. The quantity
demanded is the amount of a product people are willing to buy at a certain price;
the relationship between price and quantity demanded is known as the demand
relationship. Supply represents how much the market can offer. The quantity
supplied refers to the amount of a certain good producers are willing to supply
when receiving a certain price. The correlation between price and how much of a
good or service is supplied to the market is known as the supply relationship. Price,
therefore, is a reflection of supply and demand.
The relationship between demand and supply underlie the forces behind the
allocation of resources. In market economy theories, demand and supply theory
will allocate resources in the most efficient way possible. How? Let us take a closer
look at the law of demand and the law of supply.
