A shift to the right in a demand curve represents an increase in demand. This indicates that at any given price, consumers are now willing to purchase more of the good or service than they were before. Factors that can lead to an increase in demand include an increase in consumer income, changes in consumer preferences favoring the good, population growth, or an increase in the price of substitute goods, among others.
