Determinants of Demand
Determinants of demand are factors that shift the demand curve, changing the quantity demanded at each price.
The main determinants of demand are consumer income, preferences, the prices of related goods, and expectations. When these factors change, the demand curve shifts to the right or left. For example, if consumer income rises, demand will shift to the right, indicating an increase in demand at each price level.
