Description:

What is Derived Factor Demand? Derived factor demand describes how the demand of a good or service is affected by the demand of a related good or service or the demand of the raw materials needed to create the product. An oversimplified example would be, say the demand for peanut butter randomly increased, it would be reasonable to see an increase in the demand for the peanuts needed to make it, and maybe an increase in the demand for jelly as it’s a product related to and used with peanut butter.
