US Manufacturing Companies Failure Trends
27 years of US Manufacturing business failure rates. The data tells a story. 80% of US manufacturing companies have failed within 25 years of starting up. Let’s dig a bit deeper.
“50% of businesses fail within first 5 years.” That is a ubiquitous fact tossed around by budding entrepreneurs discussing their business struggles with their friends and family members. A business owner, who has made it through the first five years, may take a deep breath and think – “Phew, dodged that bullet. Now we are home free” Wrong!
A fact that is not as widely publicized and hence less spoken about is that the option of failure continues beyond the first five-year period. It continues even beyond the first five-year period. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that about another 30% of companies fail between year five and year fifteen. And, only about 20% of companies make it into their 25th year of existence.
This trend holds for all businesses, including manufacturing companies. The graph below shows US manufacturing companies’ survival rate (as reported by USBLS) by the number of years from startup (Note – 1).
Case Study
On the Road to Disaster: Strategic Misalignments and Corporate Failure’, The introduction states that ‘Organizational failure can be brought about by strategic misalignments; e.g., an inappropriate strategy for the external environment, or a poor operationalization of the strategy.’ The paper continues, ‘the link between strategic alignment and competitive advantage (and conversely misalignment and failure) has been recognized’.
Given the statistics the Economist Intelligent Unit, the Economist Impact
Research and MIT of managers specific knowledge of ‘Strategy’, the failure of manufacturing companies over time can be attributed to Strategic Misalignment.
