Identified as being in rising demand (5)
I believe the answer is:
named
'identified as' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'in rising demand' is the wordplay.
'NAMED' is hidden back-to-front within the letters.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for named that I've seen before include "Called" , "Entitled" , "Designated" , "Titled" , "Christened" .)
