demand risk
Definition
A risk that a demand forecast may not meet the actual consumer demand. A high forecast but low actual demand can mean unnecessary cost for the firm in terms of disposing or storing their surplus. On the other hand, low forecast but high actual demand can mean opportunity cost in terms of lost sales.
