What are the advantages and disadvantages of using demand-based pricing?

What will be an ideal response?


Demand-based pricing assures a firm that it should be able to sell what it produces at the determined price because the price is based on market research findings about customer demand rather than on the seller's costs. Disadvantages include the difficulty in estimating demand accurately and that there is no assurance the price will be profitable (or even cover costs).
