Supply refers to the number of goods that are available. Demand refers to how many people want those goods. When the supply of a product ascends, the price of a product descends, and demand for the product can rise because it costs less.

When demand surpasses supply, prices tend to rise. There is a flip-side relationship between the supplies and prices of goods and services when demand is not changed.
