Market Equilibration Process
Market equilibration gives businesses the opportunity to mold to different changes that occur within the field of marketing. With market equilibration, market prices are established through product and service competition.

Excess supplies in the market will cause the market prices to drop resulting in an imbalance in the market equilibrium.

It prevents investors from selling at over inflated prices or purchasing at underrated prices.
