Structural Demand Weakness

Definition

Structural demand weakness refers to a persistent and fundamental lack of buying interest for an asset or across a market, extending beyond short-term fluctuations. This condition indicates that underlying factors, such as diminished utility, regulatory concerns, or a shift in technological preferences, are contributing to a sustained absence of new capital inflows. It suggests that the market’s foundational support for price appreciation is compromised. This weakness can lead to prolonged periods of stagnation or decline.
