Surge pricing is a pricing strategy where the price of a product or service is dynamically increased, often significantly, when the demand for it temporarily outstrips the available supply. This aims to balance the market by either reducing demand or incentivizing more supply.
The core concept of surge pricing is adjusting prices based on real-time fluctuations in demand and supply, with prices rising sharply during periods of high demand.
