1. Demand for overall services rises with increases in PCGDP and decreases with increase in prices of services 2. High income elasticity of demand in case of producer services, therefore it is regarded as a major source of economic growth (advert, publicity, marketing, IT&ITES) 3. Public admin, social and rural extension also have a high income elasticity of demand.
4. Consumer goods income elasticity is almost equal to unity and price responsiveness is not detected, it means consumer services increases leads same proportion as changes in PCI & price is insensitive.

Growth of Services
An important feature of Indias growth - skewed towards services -described as jobless growth Share of agriculture in the Indian economy declined rapidly but the Share of employment in agriculture has remained more or less same- increasing share of services in the GDP has not been accompanied by services claiming a larger share of employment in the decade of the 1990s
The report on currency and finance contends that in general, services sector appears to be highly growth inducing with positive externalities for other sectors, making services a catalytic agent of growth. [Acc to Shankar Acharya, services are hugely important but they cannot themselves assure rapid and sustained growth of the Indian economy. So, to attain and maintain high economic growth, we must strive for strong growth in all sectors]
Deba Prasad Rath and Raj Rajesh (2006), Analytics and Implications of Services Sector Growth in Indian Economy, The Journal of Income and Wealth, Volume 28, No.1, JanuaryJune.
Given the magnitude of services growth and its inter-linkages with other sectors of the economy, it is important to understand the impact of services sector on other macroeconomic variables. This paper attempts to identified some of the critical issues in Indias services-led growth and tests certain hypotheses that are currently in debate.
