In recent years, machine learning (ML) algorithms have gained popularity for demand forecasting, as they can handle large and complex datasets and provide accurate predictions. Precise demand prediction for car brands is vital for companies to minimize costs and prevent inventory shortages. The demand for distributing cars is a critical component of inventory management. However, estimating demand for new car sales is difficult due to its continuous nature. To address this challenge, a study was conducted to train, test, and compare the performance of five machine learning algorithms (Random Forest, Multiple Linear Regression, k-Nearest Neighbors, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and Support Vector Machine) using a benchmark dataset. Among all the experiments, the Support Vector Machine algorithm achieved the highest accuracy score of 71.42%. Moreover, Multiple Linear Regression performed well, with an accuracy score of 66.66%. On the other hand, the Extreme Gradient Boosting algorithm had the lowest accuracy score of 42.85%. All experiments used a train-test split of 75/25. 2023 24 37 1870 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/FPA.120102 https://americaspg.com/journal/3/article/1870 https://americaspg.com/storage/41686795029.pdf
