Answer 1

Two factors affecting the market demand for a commodity:

On the other hand, if most of the national income is concentrated with rich people, the demand for luxury goods would increase among those people. So, the pattern of income distribution affects the market demand for a commodity.
• Climatic condition: During the winter season, the demand for woollen clothes increases. During the summer season, the demand for cotton clothes increases. Hence, the climatic condition affects the market demand for a commodity.
