Industry risk
Risk that affects all companies of an industry and, at the same time, is beyond a company's own entrepreneurial activity.
The industry risk is the risk of a particular business sector. It arises from focusing on specific products or services which could be affected by external developments, such as technical innovations outside the industry or changes in consumer habits, and therefore have a negative impact on the whole industry.
