Creative Destruction refers to the process by which new ideas, products or technologies emerge in a way that disrupts the existing markets and replaces old ways of doing things. Essentially, it is the notion that innovation leads to destruction of outdated methods and creates opportunities for growth and progress.
Market disruption occurs when established industries are overturned by disruptive innovations. These changes can come from new market entrants who challenge existing products through cost reductions or other means. This transition often results in major industry shifts that force companies to pivot their strategies.
