📈 Forecasting Product Sales for the Next 12 Months Using Time Series Models in Python | by Huzaifa Watto | May, 2025

To forecast future sales, I used Facebook Prophet, a robust and intuitive forecasting tool developed by Meta. It’s designed to work well with time series that have strong seasonal effects and historical trends.

Prophet allowed me to extend the forecast into the future — in this case, 12 months ahead. The model automatically detected the seasonality and trend from the training data and produced an interpretable forecast.
