Reasons For Shifting In The Supply Curve

               Reasons For Shifting In The Supply Curve

There are many reasons for shifting in the supply curve. Now , we will know about some reasons for shifting in the supply curve.

Input price:

If the price of the inputs used in any production increases, then the producer will not get more profit by producing, this time the producer will reduce his production. When he reduces the production due to the increase in the input price, then his supply curve  will shift to the left. But when the input price decreases, he will increase production again, then his supply curve will shift to the right.

Technology:
If advanced technology is used, less labor is required during production, thereby reducing the producer's cost of production.   As a result, he will be able to produce more at lower cost.

Expectations:

If the producer expects that the price of what he is producing may increase in the future, then he will store it without supplying it.  The market supply will then decrease and the supply curve will shift to the left.  But if he expects that the price of his product may decrease in the future, then he will supply his product to the market now and the supply curve will shift to the right.

Number Of Sellers:
When the number of suppliers in the market increases, the supply curve will shift to the right and when the number of suppliers in the market decreases, the supply curve will shift to the left. Because if the number of suppliers increases, the supply will increase and if the number of suppliers decreases, the supply will decrease.
