Market Equilibrium
Market equilibrium occurs when quantity demanded equals quantity supplied at a given price.
In a market, equilibrium is reached when the quantity consumers want to buy matches the quantity producers want to sell. At the equilibrium price, there is no shortage or surplus in the market. The market is efficient, and there is no pressure for the price to change.
