The document discusses different types of demand in marketing including negative demand for products that are disliked, nonexistent demand when consumers are unaware of a product, latent demand for needs that no existing product satisfies, declining demand when purchases decrease over time, irregular demand that varies seasonally, full demand when all products are purchased, overfull demand when more want to buy than can be, and unwholesome demand for products with undesirable social consequences like cigarettes. Examples are provided for each type.
2. Negative demand
which is created if the product is
disliked in general. The product
might be beneficial but the
customer does not want it.
• For example – Dental work where people
don’t want problems with their teeth and use
preventive measures to avoid the same.
3. Nonexistent demand -
consumers may be
unaware of or
uninterested in the
product.
• For example- College students may not be
interested in a foreign language course
4. Latent demand - consumers may share
a strong need that cannot be satisfied
by an existing product.
For example - I want to eat bacon that is really
good for me. I want a computer with a battery
that lasts a long time.
5. Declining demand - consumers begin to
buy the product less frequently or not at
all.
• For example - Packaged drinking water. People
have begun to prefer tap water as it is more
environment friendly
6. Irregular demand - consumer purchases
vary on a seasonal, monthly, weekly, daily
or even hourly basis.
For example - seasonal products like
umbrellas, air conditioners or resorts
7. Full demand - consumers are adequately
buying all products put into the
marketplace
• For example - Medicine always have
full demand
8. Overfull demand -
more consumers would
like to buy the product
than can be satisfied.
For example - food wheat, rice etc.
9. Unwholesome demand -
consumers may be attracted to
products that have undesirable
social consequences.
For example - cigarette is the
most common example of
unwholesome demand as it is
harmful to the society but the
customers are attracted
towards these.
