Hello Abishek,
Besides predictive, extrapolative methods for foreCASTING based on
current trends, there are methods for strengthening foreSIGHT capacity
such as Delphi, which is basically an expert panel.
Wikipedia's entry is a good start.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi_method
eDelphoi is software for conducting a Delphi study online

This text also seems a decent starting point to start investigating
technological roadmapping:

All the best
