Both are types of demand based on how goods relate to one another, but they pull in opposite directions.
| Point | Joint / Complementary Demand | Competitive Demand |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Two or more goods demanded together to satisfy one want | Two or more substitute goods that satisfy the same want |
| Relation of goods | Goods are complements, used jointly | Goods are substitutes, used in place of each other |
| Price effect | A rise in the price of one reduces demand for both | A rise in the price of one raises demand for the other |
