Market supply is the total amount supplied by all producers of a single product in a period.
Total supply in the marketplace is the sum of all amounts supplied by all firms selling in the market.
Market equilibrium occurs when quantity supplied equals quantity demanded, influencing the demand for substitutes and complements.
Market demand is the sum of quantities demanded per period by all households in the market for a specific good or service.
