Forecasting
Reducing of term of advancing from idea to technovation, from technovation to innovation and from innovation to market puts in the forefront such activity as a forecasting. Who will see the goal before others, that can achieve this goal before others!
There are 2 main types of technical (technological) forecasting:
- forecasting of trends, in the channel of which the technics will develop;
- forecasting of technovations which will dominate in the future.
Forecasting of the drinking water purification system
Haier Corporation, Qingdao, China.
The market for drinking water purification systems installed at the consumer is growing every year. The number of enterprise-producers is increasing. The competition is getting tougher.

What filters will replace existing ones?
What water purification technology makes sense to rely on in scientific and technical developments?
About 30 trends of water purification systems for drinking water as a whole and its parts separately (filters, ...) were identified.
