Maybe you are supposed to try to get data. What are the last ten years of sales data for your company? What are the last ten years of sales data for the entire industry selling this product? Are there reasons why the patterns of the past should or should not continue for another year?

With absolutely zero information, or data (you don't even consider it necessary to mention what article, or type of product you are talking about ?), how do you expect anyone to produce an answer which has any meaning ? No-one in the science department has a crystal ball. These things are not produced out of thin air (well, perhaps they are in ad agencies or auditors offices).
