Abstract

Demand forecasting is a fundamental component in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, as it directly impacts inventory management, supply chain efficiency, and profitability. This paper presents a detailed review of multiple research studies focusing on statistical and machine learning approaches for demand forecasting. Traditional methods such as ARIMA and SARIMA are compared with advanced techniques including Multiple Linear Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, Neural Networks, and Big Data analytics. The study highlights how predictive analytics improves forecasting accuracy by identifying patterns in historical data and adapting to market dynamics. Furthermore, this paper discusses challenges, limitations, and future research opportunities in developing robust forecasting models.
