This following graph demonstrates a shift in the demand curve.

    • P - price
    • Q - quantity
    • D1 - initial demand curve
    • P1 - equilibrium price
    • Q1 - equilibrium quantity
    • D2 - shifted demand curve
    • P2 - equilibrium price after shift
    • Q2 - equilibrium quantity after shift
    • S - supply curve

 

Due to the shift because of the increase in demand, both the initial equilibrium states have moved to a higher price & quantity.
