different factors that affect the demand of energy
INDUSTRIAL
Manufacturing needs energy at all production stages.
Heavy industries use large amounts of energy.
Industrialised countries use more energy.
Technological advances have made products cheaper and more necessary, increasing energy use.
DOMESTIC
Lifestyle changes increase comfort expectations
Greater need for air-conditioning and heating, especially in urban areas.
More household appliances and technology (e.g. computers, washing machines, lighting).
Larger homes = more energy needed.
ECONOMIC
Demand depends on the ability to afford energy and goods.
More disposable income = more purchases of energy-consuming products.
Wealthier countries = more energy demand per person.
CLIMATE
Hot climates = higher use of air-conditioning.
Seasonal changes also affect energy needs.
Cold climates = higher energy use for heating.
ENERGY PRICES AND RESOURCES
As demand rises and supply stays limited, prices increase.
Limited supply of non-renewable resources.
New technologies may allow access to previously uneconomic reserves, affecting supply and demand.
