Definition
Demand Forecasting AI predicts future product demand by analyzing historical sales, market trends, seasonality, and external factors like weather or economic indicators.
How It Works
Machine learning models process multiple data streams to identify patterns and correlations. They account for promotions, competitor actions, and social media trends.
The systems provide probabilistic forecasts with confidence intervals rather than single-point predictions.
Why It Matters
Accurate demand forecasting reduces inventory costs by 20-50% while preventing stockouts. It enables better production planning and resource allocation.
AI forecasting is essential for industries with perishable goods or seasonal demand patterns.
