Normal Good

A normal good is a good for which demand increases when consumer income rises and falls when income decreases.

For normal goods, there is a positive relationship between income and demand. As consumers' incomes rise, they buy more of these goods, and vice versa. Examples include high-quality food, clothing, and electronics.
