Thus the demand for steel depends partial y on consumer demand for automobiles and refrigerators. But it also&nbsp;depends on the demand for butter and CD players This is because the tools machines, and other equipment needed to make these items are made of steel<\/p><p>There are two significant marketing implications in the fact that business market&nbsp;demand is a derived demand. First to estimate the demand for a <a href=\"https:\/\/motivemeaning.com\/fundamental-product-concepts\/\">product<\/a> a business marketer must be very familiar with how it is used. Second, the&nbsp;producer of a business product may engage in <a data-schema-attribute=\"about\" href=\"https:\/\/www.centreforelites.com\/en\/marketing-of-services-3-outstanding-strategies-to-consider\/\">marketing<\/a> efforts to encourage the sale of its buyers&#8217; products. The idea is that increases in consumer demand&nbsp;will in turn trigger increases in derived demand for these business products.<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DEMAND_IS_INELASTIC\"><\/span>DEMAND IS INELASTIC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Another characteristic of the business market is demand elasticity of business products. Elasticity of demand refers to how responsive demand is to a change&nbsp;in the price of a product.<\/p><p>The demand for many business products is relatively inelastic, which means&nbsp;that the demand for a product &#8220;a&#8221; responds very little to changes in price.<\/p><p>The demand for business products is inelastic because ordinarily the cost of a single part or material is a small portion of the total cost of the finished product.<\/p><p>The cost of the chemical is a small part of the price a consumer pays for paint. As a result, when the price of the business product changes, there is very little change in price of the related consumer products. From a marketing point of view, there are three factors that can moderate inelasticity of business demand.<\/p><p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/motivemeaning.com\/price-and-pricing-decisions\/\">Price change<\/a> must occur throughout an entire industry, not in a single firm<\/p><p>The second marketing factors that can affect the inelasticity of demand is time.&nbsp;Much of our discussion here applies to short-term situation. Over the long run the demand for a given industrial products is more elastic. The third factor is the relative importance of a specific business product in the cost of the finished good. The greater the cost of a business product as percentage of the total price&nbsp;of the finished good, the greater the&nbsp;elasticity of demand for this business product.<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DEMAND_IS_WIDELY_FLUCTUATING\"><\/span>DEMAND IS WIDELY FLUCTUATING<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>The market demand for most classes of business goods fluctuates considerably&nbsp;more than the demand for consumer products<\/p><p>The main cause of these fluctuations is the individual businesses concern&nbsp;about having a shortage of inventory when consumer demand increases or being&nbsp;caught with excess inventory should consumer demand decline. Thus they tend to overreact to signals from the economy, building inventories when they see signs of <a href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/definition-of-growth-and-development\/\">growth<\/a> in the economy and working inventories down when the signs suggest stagnation. <\/p><p>When the action of all the individual firms are combined the effect on their suppliers is widely fluctuating demand. This is known as the&nbsp;<strong>acceleration principle.&nbsp;<\/strong>One exception to this generalization is found in agricultural products intended for processing.&nbsp;<strong>Can you explain why this is so?<\/strong><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BUYERS_ARE_WELL_INFORMED\"><\/span>BUYERS ARE WELL INFORMED<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Typically, business buyers are better informed about what they are buying than ultimate&nbsp;consumers. They know more about the relative merits of alternative sources of supply and competitive product for three reasons.<\/p><p>                                    <\/p><ol><li>there are relatively few alternatives for a business buyer to consider.<\/li><li>the responsibility of a buyer in an organization is ordinarily limited to a few products; and&nbsp;<\/li><li>for most consumer purchase, an error is only a minor inconvenience. However, in business buying the cost of a mistake may be thousands dollars or even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centreforelites.com\/en\/decision-making-in-conflicts-resolution\/\">decision
