Any\nbusiness owners from various industries will eventually need to make a\nprediction about market trends and demand to develop better strategies for\ntheir businesses. An accurate prediction helps to effectively improve\noperational performance and meet future challenges, thus, they will need to\ncreate market forecasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market forecasting involves different techniques to collect data from different sources. This article will talk more about market forecasting and what methods are used when creating market forecasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Market Forecasting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Market\nforecasting is a core element of market analysis. It projects the future size\nand the growth of demand from your target market. When making a market forecasting,\nit requires techniques and assumptions to create the data. When defining the\nmarket, it is segmented into geography, demography, psychography, and\npurchasing and behavioral characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\ncreating market forecasting, a researcher will need resources or data from\ngovernment and industry sources, depending on the methods you use. Generally,\nmarket forecasting falls into two categories, quantitative and qualitative.\nQuantitative forecasting is usually based on the history of a company\u2019s figures\nwhile qualitative is based on expert judgment and opinion which does not rely\non history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five Methods in Market Forecasting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As\nwhat\u2019s mentioned before, market forecasting has two main methods, qualitative\nand quantitative. In qualitative market forecasting, there are five methods\nused, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • A jury of executive opinions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    This\nmethod takes opinions from a group of high-level managers and usually also\ncombined with statistical models to make the data richer. All of them are\ngathered and assessed to get a group estimate of demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Market research<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      This\nmethod takes input from (potential) customers about their future purchasing\nplans. Not only does it help to prepare a market forecast, but also to improve\nthe design of the product as well as plan for new products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Salesforce composite<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        This\nmethod requires each of salespersons to estimate what sales in their regions.\nIt will then be gathered and reviewed to see whether it is realistic or not and\nthen combined at the district and national levels to have an overall forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Delphi method<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          In the\nDelphi method, the objective is to achieve a consensus forecast that requires\nthree types of participants, including decision-makers\/experts, staff\npersonal\/coordinator, and respondents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Usually,\ndecision-makers\/experts consist of five to ten people to make an actual\nforecast. Staff personal\/coordinator helps experts in preparing, distributing,\ncollecting, and summarizing questionnaires and survey results. Meanwhile,\nrespondents consist of a group of people who are usually in different\nlocations. They will make a judgment which later will be valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Panel Consensus<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Panel\nconsensus involves seven to ten experts to have a discussion. First of all,\neach of them needs to list their ideas about the area of the forecast. All of the\nideas are discussed and ranked to reach a consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Meanwhile,\nthe quantitative market forecasting\u2019s methods are based on time series and\nregression model. Time series method uses a series of past data to create\nforecasting while regression model is a casual forecasting method output hat\nlinks variables\u2014independent and more independent ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
