Abstract: A collection unit of this demand prediction system collects a plurality of event information that have current or future events and location information indicating locations of the events. An extraction unit extracts event information indicating the event in a predetermined range, which includes the location of a shop from the plurality of event information collected by the collection unit based on the location information. A prediction unit predicts a demand of goods varying at the shop according to the event indicated by the event information extracted by the extraction unit, based on actual result information on a past event corresponding to the event indicated by the event information extracted by the extraction unit. An output unit outputs demand prediction information indicating the demand of goods predicted by the prediction unit.
