What product is in high demand?

Lesson Activities

Hi, my name is Billy, and I will be talking today about what product is on high demand.

So this is a very interesting topic because I think products depends on who you're asking and also the gender. Like for example, for females, I think the highest product on demand right now is makeup or cosmetic materials. And you have so many brands. You have your Kylie Jenner brands, you have Fenty, I think by Rihanna. There's so many products that are on high demand, but I think the cosmetic industry is booming right now. So those products are going to be on higher demand. I think if you ask guys, the highest demand would probably be maybe a car or some, like yeah, a car with a V8 engine or something like that. Maybe a watch.

So I think it depends on the gender and also the age gap in which you're going for. But a product that I think will always be on high demand is food. Right now, I think we need more food than ever before, and it's the highest demand that we can get. So yeah, let's keep that product on lower demand, make sure everybody has food to eat and such.

So yeah, that's my take.
