Consumption
Consumption is characterized by the use of goods and services that will be destroyed immediately or gradually. This in order to satisfy a need. Consumption is often partly defined by the concept opposed to it, production. Many parameters condition consumption: ▪ Purchasing power, level of prices, uses of social groups, constraints of collective life, market access, regulation. ▪ Supplier supply, effects of competition.
