CONSUMER TASTES 2 Supply and Demand Curves The automotive industry is important in promoting the growth of an economy. However, there have been recent concerns about the emission of gases that vehicles in the industry have. Individuals are working towards ensuring green technologies and better environmental conservation methods. Firms in the automotive industry have started focusing on providing fuel- efficient vehicles. The environmental conservation concerns have led to a change in consumer tastes. Consumer tastes affect the demand and supply of products (Amaldoss & He, 2019). Consumers want to have fuel-efficient cars that do not have dangerous emissions to the environment. The change in consumer taste has increased the demand for fuel-efficient cars. Increased demand has caused the demand curve in the industry to shift to the right. The demand for fuel-efficient cars has shifted from D to D1. The quantity of fuel- efficient cars has demanded has increased.

The result of the effort is reduced quantity and supply as there is a high demand for fuel-efficient cars, which increases the number of cars sold. The company can analyze the effect of change in consumer taste on supply and demand to make decisions on production and marketing. The results from the analysis can contribute to effective decision-making, which can help to have adequate production of fuel-efficient cars. The management in the company could also use the analysis to adjust the prices of the cars to reflect the consumer taste changes and the rise in production in the industry.
