Forecasting is making predictions about the future based on past and present data, typically through trend analysis. There are qualitative and quantitative forecasting methods. Qualitative methods rely on expert opinions and judgments when past data is limited, while quantitative methods use mathematical models to forecast future data based on historical patterns. Common qualitative techniques include expert panels, the Delphi method, and consumer surveys, while regression analysis is an example of a quantitative technique.

Quantitative forecasting models are used to forecast future data as a function of past data
QUALITATIVE METHODS

This is based on the inputs and decisions of high-level experts or management
 Delphi method
Decision makers, staff, and respondents all meet to develop the forecast. Every shareholder in
the process provides input.
 Sales force composite
Each sales person provides an individual estimate which is reviewed for realism by
management, and then combined for a big picture view.
 Consumer market survey
This is surveying the prospective customer base to determine demand for existing products and
can also be used for new products
