‭demanded).‬‭The‬‭factors‬‭that‬‭shift‬‭the‬‭demand‬‭curve‬‭are‬‭referred‬‭to‬‭as‬‭the‬ ‭determinants‬‭of‬‭demand‬ ‭and‬ ‭can be memorized using the term‬ ‭TIMER‬ ‭:‬ ‭●‬ ‭T‬ ‭astes and preferences‬ ‭●‬ ‭I‬ ‭ncomes‬ ‭●‬ ‭M‬ ‭arket size and number of consumers‬ ‭●‬ ‭E‬ ‭xpectations‬ ‭●‬ ‭Prices of‬ ‭R‬ ‭elated goods or services‬ ‭Changes‬‭in‬‭these‬‭determinants‬‭that‬‭cause‬ ‭an‬‭increase‬‭in‬‭demand‬‭shift‬‭the‬‭demand‬‭curve‬‭to‬‭the‬‭right‬ ‭(outwards)‬ ‭,‬ ‭whereas‬ ‭changes‬ ‭that‬ ‭cause‬ ‭a‬ ‭decrease‬ ‭in‬ ‭demand‬ ‭shift‬ ‭the‬ ‭demand‬ ‭curve‬‭to‬‭the‬‭left‬ ‭(inwards).‬
