[Purpose/Significance] Technology forecasting is a field of research related to future technology development trends and technological innovation. This paper aims to identify the current research hotspots and frontiers in the field of technology forecasting, to provide guidance for the technological innovation of enterprises and organizations, helping them seize opportunities and avoid risks. [Method/Process] Technology forecasting literature from WoS and CNKI (2001—2024) was analyzed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to identify literature characteristics, hotspots, and frontiers. [Result/Conclusion] The result shows that: ①The volume of articles published in the field of technology forecasting has grown steadily at domestic and international, and the core journals are distributed in the fields of information science, management and other disciplines. ②A stable core authors group has formed in the field of technology forecasting at home and abroad. In China, collaboration remains predominantly intra-institutional, and there are cross-institutional, with cross-institutional ties often stemming from mentor-apprentice relationships. Internationally, cross-institutional collaboration is more prevalent, frequently facilitated by jointly-trained scholars and visiting academics who serve as bridges for research partnerships. Notably, Chinese scholars have emerged as key contributors to international technology forecasting research. ③Regarding research hotspots, domestic research focuses on the research of emerging and disruptive technologies, technology opportunities, and technology forecasting methods. Foreign countries focus on technology development trend research, emerging technology assessment and forecasting research, technology convergence and technology intelligence research, technology opportunity discovery and analysis research. ④In terms of research frontiers, identification and prediction of disruptive and emerging technologies, research on technology convergence and technological innovation, and optimization of technology opportunity identification and discovery methods are the research frontiers in the field of domestic technology forecasting. The research frontiers in the field of foreign technology forecasting mainly focus on the improvement of technology forecasting methods and the discovery and analysis of technology opportunities.
