Market Demand Function:
Market demand function refers to the functional relationship between market demand and the factors affecting
market demand.

Dx = Market
demand of commodity x;
Px = Price of given commodity x;
Pr = Prices of Related Goods;
Y = Income of the consumers;
T = Tastes and Preferences;
F = Expectation
of Change in Price in future;
P0 = Size and Composition of population;
S = Season and Weather;
D = Distribution of Income.
