Is there a way to predict somehow the required storage for a specific blockchain?

This depends on a number of factors,

1) The amount of transactions

2) How the blockchain will be compressed in the near future.

Now as i'm not quite familiar with the altcoins you stated, I can't go in depth about their compression development, but it would be fairly easy to find out what the *MAXIMUM* size of the blockchain could be.

Simply calculate every block as if it would be filled up with transactions ( maximum size), and multiply that by the amount of blocks for/until the next year.
