(kn) A want is something desired for reasons like status or style, while a need is something essential, like basic footwear for protection.
(app) For example, an average consumer might need an unbranded pair of shoes for foot protection but may want branded trainers like Nike to show off their design or brand.
(an) This specific want is heavily based on the brand image, wearing Nike may create a sense of identity, making it more desirable, but it may not be necessary for the basic need of footwear.

[Ayaan Fayaaz]

[KN] A need is something essential for survival, such as clothing or shoes for protection. A want is something desirable but not essential, often linked to status, style, or personal preference.
[APP]For instance, a consumer may only need a basic pair of shoes to protect their feet when walking to school or work. However, they might want a branded pair of trainers, such as Nike or Adidas, because of the style, reputation, or celebrity endorsements.
[AN]This shows that while their basic need (footwear) can be satisfied with a cheaper pair of shoes, the branded trainers meet psychological and social wants — such as feeling fashionable, fitting in with peers, or showing status. As a result, demand for branded products can be driven more by image and brand loyalty than by functional necessity.

[Dania Farooq]

(KN) A consumer needs shoes to protect their feet — any basic pair will do the job.
( APP) But they might want Nike trainers because they look stylish and have a cool brand image. The brand makes them feel confident or trendy, even though they aren’t needed.
(AN) This shows that a want is about personal image or status, while a need is just about function.

[Shuraim Arif]

(KN) A want is usually for status and style while a need is a necessity and is based on the basic use of an object.
(APP) For example, customers may ''want" a branded pair of shoes to show them amongst their friends and get noticed. On the other hand, customers would "need" a basic pair of trainers in order to protect their feet, without which, their feet would be fully exposed, vulnerable to rusted nails and other dangerous items.
(AN) This means that the branded pair of shoes would be charged higher as they are a symbol of status and style and are not a necessity, whereas the basic pair of trainers would be charged at a lower price as they only fulfill the basic objective of protecting customer's feet and are unbranded.
