Modelling projections while expecting a recession

Let's say the company  has had c.5% growth over the last three years, and  you are expecting a major recession in the region for next 2 years, before it starts going again, how would you go about the revenue projections? How much of a decline would you take? 

Also, what kind of companies/industries do you think will grow through the recession? Let's assume something more like the 08 crisis and not the recession due to covid. 

Thanks a lot :)
