Luxuries and necessities:-Luxuries are things we can do away with; hence, they tend to have elastic demand.
The number of close substitutes goods:-The more substitutes a good has and the more close the substitutes are, the more elastic the demand for the good is.
The number of the possible uses:-A commodity has a high price elasticity of demand (or elastic demand) if it can be put into so many uses.
