Market Models
TIMES market forecasting as a challenge
Forecasting dynamically evolving market environments is a daily challenge in the TIMES industries.
On the basis of our TIMES market intelligence, continuous monitoring of market trends and ongoing contacts with corporate and technology leaders in these industries, we have developed a toolset to set-up interactive, customized market models for various industry segments in order to forecast market developments.
The models are based on
- definitions of key assumptions as a result of desk research, surveys with industry experts and industry key performance indicators, benchmarks, financial ratios etc.
- time series methods (e. g. moving average, exponential smoothing, extrapolations, linear predictions, trend estimations) and econometric methods (e. g. linear or non-linear regressions analysis of key indices)
- ongoing monitoring of market trends
- market analogies (e. g. transfer of in-depth knowledge of the American online market to European markets), etc.
The Skillnet market models help to identify emerging market opportunities across industries, market segments, and regions.
They are provided to the client in a database format, so that they can be used as forecast or controlling tools.
Several clients successfully rely on Skillnet market models as a fundamental basis for their strategic moves in existing and new markets, business planning and analyst reporting.
