- Complementary Goods: The demand for a product can be influenced by the demand for related goods. (E.g. Phones and chargers.)
- Expected Future Prices: Expectations on future prices impact present demand (e.g. high expected gold prices lead to higher demand for it.)
- Government Policies: Government policies like taxes and subsidies can influence demand for goods (e.g. Tax reduction on products leading to more demand).
- Cultural & Social Factors: Cultural and social factors play a role in determining consumer demand (e.g. the popularity of yoga in India).
