How does inflation increase and decrease?

The rise and fall of inflation depends on the demand and supply of the product. If people have more money they will buy more things. Buying more things will increase the demand for things and if the supply is not as per the demand, the price of these things will increase.

In this way the market becomes vulnerable to inflation. Simply put, excessive flow of money or shortage of goods in the market causes inflation. Whereas if demand is less and supply is more then inflation will be less.
