Differentiating itself from most of its competitors, J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting uses a proprietary sales and production data model to track, analyse and forecast global demand and build, model-by-model, over a seven year time horizon. This integrated global balancing model is essential to the generation of mutually consistent and credible forecasts which accurately reflect the dynamics of demand and take full account of production capacity limitations.

In addition, and closely related to the production forecasts, J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting provides global engine and transmission supply and demand forecasts.

In the heavy commercial vehicle sector, J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting works with ACT Research, to provide global sales and production forecasts.
