Demand & forecasting

What is seasonality?

The repeating pattern of demand across the year for a product or category.

Why it matters: It tells you when to buy in, peak and clear. Plan against the wrong shape and you land stock late or hold it too long.

How it's worked out: A seasonal index expresses each period against the average; 1.4 means 40% above average demand.
