Demand forecasting plays a crucial role in the manufacturing industry, directly impacting service quality and production costs. As a result, extensive efforts have been made to harness artificial intelligence, yielding significant results. This paper provides a scholarly examination of artificial intelligence-driven demand forecasting in manufacturing. To achieve this, we gathered 353 publications from Web of Science, and conducted statistical and in-depth analyses using Biblioshiny in R and Python. We initiate by exploring case studies spanning various industrial sectors where artificial intelligence has been applied to demand forecasting. Subsequently, we present and analyze performance metrics based on year, authorship, affiliations, and journals derived from s. Then, We perform network analysis, constructing co-occurrence networks, three-field plots and thematic evolution to explore relationships among keywords, authors and journals. This paper offers a comprehensive and systematic investigation into the application of artificial intelligence for demand forecasting within the manufacturing domain. Its primary objective is to make academic and practical contributions to this area.
