Changes in Demand :

1) Increase in demand :

It refers to an increase in quantity demanded due to favourable changes in other factors like tastes, the income of the consumer, climatic conditions etc. and price remains constant.  Demand curve shifts to the right-hand side of the original demand curve. This can be explained with the help of a figure.

When more quantity is demanded than before at the same price, it is called an increase in demand.

An increase in demand is indicated by a shift in the demand curve to the right. A decrease in demand is indicated by a shift in the demand curve to left.
