Inflate/expand
Do we say that the population has expanded or inflated? My guess is that the first is the most appropriate but I can't justify it. Also, can we say that high demand has inflated the price of a product?

No. When you start talking money, "inflate" has specific meanings, and this is not one of them. Demand increased the price.
