Supply and demand are pivotal concepts in understanding market economics. They describe the relationship between the availability of a product and the desire for that product. When supply exceeds demand, prices typically drop, while a higher demand with limited supply can lead to increased prices. This interplay not only influences pricing strategies but also affects the overall economic environment, driving competition and innovation among producers.
