We use Qualitative Forecasting :-
- if past data cannot be used reliably to predict the future.
- in case of technological trends
- for predicting Policies, Regulations
- When no past data is available, usually because the situation is very new.
- in case of entrance into new markets
- for Development of totaly new products
