Meaning

market demand schedule is a tabular statement that shows the quantities of a commodity all buyers in a market are willing to purchase at different prices in a given period. It represents aggregate demand by combining the demand schedules of each consumer in the market.

Example: Market Demand for Apples

Price (₹/kg) Quantity by A (kg) Quantity by B (kg) Total Market Demand (kg)
100 1 2 3
90 2 3 5
80 4 5 9
70 6 7 13
CISCE: Class 12

Calculation Method

At each price point, add the quantity demanded by each consumer to find the total market demand.
For example, at ₹80/kg: A buys 4 kg, and B buys 5 kg, so market demand = 4 + 5 = 9 kg.

Real-Life Application

Imagine apples at a school market stall. If the price is high, only a few students buy apples. As price decreases, more students buy apples, and the total market demand rises.
