In economics, normalgoods are any goods for which demand increases when income increases.
In the diagram below, good Y is a normalgood since the amount purchased increases from Y1 to Y2 as the budget constraint shifts from BC1 to the higher income BC2.
Good X is an inferior good since the amount bought decreases from X1 to X2 as income increases.
In consumer theory, an inferior good is a good that decreases in demand when income rises, unlike the more common normalgoods, for which the opposite is observed.
A special type of inferior good may exist known as the Giffen good, which would disobey the "law of demand".
This would have to be a good that is such a large proportion of a person or market's consumption that the income effect of a price increase would produce, effectively, more demand.
