Why most businesses fail

Section 2 : Lack of market research

28%

Understanding the market is fundamental to business success. Many entrepreneurs fail because they don't conduct thorough market research, leading to products or services that do not meet customer needs or are priced incorrectly. Without knowing your target audience, their preferences and the competitive landscape, it's challenging to position your business effectively.

Consider a tech startup that develops an innovative gadget without researching if there's a demand for it in Zimbabwe or identifying potential competitors. Despite having a superior product, the lack of market fit results in poor sales. Conducting comprehensive market research can help tailor your offerings to meet actual market demands, ensuring better alignment with customer needs.
