Derived Demand
Derived demand is the demand for a factor of production that results from the demand for the goods and services it helps produce.
The demand for a factor of production is derived from the demand for the final goods and services it is used to produce. If demand for the final product increases, the derived demand for the factors used to make it will also increase.
