It happens due to Change in factors other than the price of the commodity. It means if there is a change in Demand due to change in other factors like Income of the consumer, preference etc. Except the price of commodity.

✔Following are the two cases of left ward shift in Demand curve.

Left ward means Decrease in Demand.

1. Change in Taste and preference:-
If there is change in Taste and Preference of the consumer in oppose of the good.

e.g. A consumer uses to prefer good x but later there was change in his taste and now he prefers y over x then there will be a leftward shift in Demand curve of X.

2. Change in price of Substitute good.
