Marketing concept is a set of strategies that the firms adopt where they analyse the needs of their customers and implement strategies to fulfil those needs which will result in an increase in sales, profit maximisation and also beat the existing competition.
The marketing concept has been widely used by companies all over the world in the present age, but the situation was not the same earlier. As per this concept, it is said that for an organisation to satisfy the objectives of the organisation, the needs and wants of the customer should be satisfied. This theory was first mentioned in Adam Smith’s book “The Wealth of Nations” in 1776 but came into widespread use only 200 years later.
Therefore, marketing can be said as a process of acquiring customers andmaintaining relations with them and at the same time matching needs and wants with the services or product offered by the organisation, which ensures that the organisation will become profitable.
What are Needs, Wants and Demand
Marketing concept focuses on the needs, wants and demands of customers. Let us understand them in brief.

2. Wants:
Wants are something that is desired by the person. These are not required for day to day functioning. Wants are not necessary for basic survival and are mostlymoulded by cultural influence.
3. Demands:
When the needs and wants are supported by an ability to pay, it becomes a demand.

COMPANY
Market-driven companies focus on researching current
customers to identify their problems, gather new ideas,
develop products that result in incremental improvements,
not radical innovations.
Market-driving companies generate significantly new
products, services, business formats and raise our sights
and our civilization. These
companies are much more than customer-led. They lead
customer where they want to go, but don’t know yet.
