Product price generally tends to decline as time proceeds. However, in E-commerce business (hereafter called “EC”) it sometimes increases influenced by supply and demand conditions; therefore, it is difficult to predict the future price.

Focusing on this point, this study analyzes the tendencies of gross profit using the actual purchase and selling data of a certain EC operator, and also explores for the possibility of estimating the supply and demand of the market by using these tendencies.
