Demand is the number of consumers who are able and willing to purchase goods at a range of prices over a specific time period. Demand for any thing or service indicates that people want it and are willing and able to pay for it. The law of demand states that if the price of goods and services is high then it leads to a lower quantity demanded and that if the price of goods and services is low then it leads to higher quantity demanded.
Supply is the quantity of a resource that businesses, producers, workers, lenders, or other economic agents are willing and able to offer to the market or to a specific person. The law of supply is a micro-economic principle that asserts, with all other things being equal, that if the cost of an item or service rises, suppliers will offer more of those goods or services, and vice versa.
