Abstract: We are living in an age of accelerated change and even those industries, once dealing with relatively stable consumer habits, are now faced with the question: in the long run, which products will be demanded by the market and which ones risk to become obsolete? Giving an answer is a very complex issue, involving the evaluation of a high number of variables which have an influence on all segments of the production chain. Under these conditions, common economic forecasting techniques might be ineffective.
