1. Evolutionary Approach: Under this method, for new product is estimated the demand on the basis of existing product. For example: Demand forecasting of colour Television upon the basis of demand for black and white Television.

2. Substitute Approach: For the new product the demand is analyzed like substitute for the existing product.

3. Growth curve Approach: On the origin of the development of an established product, for the new product the demand is estimated.

4. Opinion Polling Approach: Under this approach, for the new product demand is estimated through inquiring directly by the consumers using sample survey.

5. Sales Experience Approach: This demand is estimated through supplying the new product in a sample market and analyzing the instant response on that product within the market.

6. Vicarious Approach: Consumers reactions upon the new products are determined indirectly with the assist of specialized dealers.
