ANS: Marketing increases the demand for products. Increased demand causes manufacturers to make products in larger quantities, thus reducing the unit cost of each product because the manufacturers are spending less per unit on fixed costs. Increased demand for a product also encourages competitors to enter the marketplace, thereby causing the original manufacturer to find ways to lower the product's price in order to stay in business.

Other students will say that the greater understanding of consumers that market research provides is essential because it ultimately gives consumers exactly what they need and want at a relatively low price.
