Market Forecast

What Market Forecast does

Market Forecast is a Netherlands-based market intelligence provider that operates exclusively in the defence, space, aerospace, and aviation sectors. Trading under the legal entity ASD Media BV and headquartered at Veemkade 356 in Amsterdam, the firm was founded in 2007 and is independently owned with no external investors, parent acquisitions, or M&A activity on record. The company produces a deep catalogue of market intelligence studies covering approximately 20 segments — including military helicopters, air transport, counter-UAS, tactical communications, C5ISR, directed energy weapons, armoured vehicles, unmanned systems (UUV, UGV, USV), loitering munitions, missiles, electronic warfare, precision guided munitions, military trucks, ammunition, and business jets — with forecast horizons extending to 2033 and 2034. The technical foundation is a proprietary "MF Intelligencebase" database and a content platform that delivers electronic reports alongside the firm's published analytical methodologies (Market Forecast, Market Structure, Porter's Five Forces, PEST Analysis).

The business model rests on two revenue streams: (1) one-time report sales delivered in electronic format under four tiered license types (Single User, 5-User, Site, and Enterprise), and (2) annual recurring subscriptions providing ongoing access to studies, news, and the intelligencebase. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with payments accepted via credit card, debit card, or bank wire; annual subscriptions auto-renew with a 30-day cancellation notice. The customer base is composed almost entirely of large global defence primes (Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Thales, Leonardo, MBDA, Rolls Royce, L3Harris, Kongsberg, Patria, Intelsat), adjacent enterprise buyers (Microsoft), and government or research institutions (European Commission, TNO, DSTL, NLR, Joint Research Centre, Sandia). Distribution is direct via the company website, supplemented by social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook), RSS feeds, and email newsletters.

The firm is small in headcount (1-10 employees) and runs a lean, content-centric operation under the broader ASD Media BV umbrella, which also houses complementary brands (ASDReports, ASDEvents, ASDNews, Global Energy World). Despite the limited organizational footprint, the company demonstrates a high and sustained product launch cadence — approximately 19 new reports in the 12-18 month window ending mid-2026 — indicating a catalogue-led, asset-light operating model built on repeatable research and licensing rather than services or consulting.
