Example Output
Market Disruption Risk Assessment: BeautyNaturals Skincare
Potential Disruptive Forces
- Technological Disruptions:
- Personalized Formulation Technologies (High Impact, Medium Probability) At-home skin analysis devices connected to custom formulation systems could significantly disrupt the premium skincare segment by delivering truly personalized products at scale. This threatens BeautyNaturals’ current one-size-fits-many approach.
- Sustainable Packaging Innovations (Medium Impact, High Probability) Biodegradable and refillable packaging innovations are rapidly advancing, with consumer adoption accelerating. Your current packaging approach may appear outdated within 24 months.
- Business Model Disruptions:
- Micro-Subscription Models (High Impact, High Probability) Weekly mini-product deliveries calibrated to skin conditions and environmental factors are gaining traction with younger demographics, potentially cannibalizing your traditional full-size product revenue.
- Retail-as-Service Models (Medium Impact, Medium Probability) Beauty retailers transitioning to experience centers with minimal inventory but high-touch services could reduce traditional retail distribution effectiveness.
- Regulatory Disruptions:
- Clean Beauty Standards Formalization (High Impact, High Probability) Movement toward legally-enforced clean beauty standards could require reformulation of 35% of your current product portfolio within 18 months.
- Market Convergence Disruptions:
- Wellness-Beauty-Nutrition Convergence (Medium Impact, High Probability) The continued blurring of lines between ingestible beauty products, supplements, and topical skincare threatens traditional product categories and could redirect consumer spending.

Pro tips
- Run this assessment quarterly with your leadership team, not just annually, as disruption pace continues to accelerate in consumer categories.
- Include perspectives from outside your industry when identifying potential disruptions – many market shifts come from unexpected angles.
- Develop a “disruption intelligence” system with early warning metrics that can signal when a theoretical disruption is becoming a market reality.
- Balance defensive strategies (protecting current business) with offensive moves (becoming the disruptive force yourself).
