Financial Term

Demand elasticity is a term used in economics to describe how responsive demand is to changes in other economic factors, such as price. It gauges how responsive consumers are to price changes. It is determined by comparing the percentage change in the quantity of a good or service that is required to the percentage change in the cost of that good or service. A minor change in price causes a huge change in the quantity required when demand is elastic, and the opposite is also true.
