The Struggles of Hardware Startups: A Look at Recent Bankruptcies

Recently, several hardware companies, including iRobot, Luminar, and Rad Power Bikes, have declared bankruptcy, highlighting the tough realities of the hardware industry. Each of these companies has faced unique challenges, such as rising tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and changing market demands. However, their struggles also reflect broader issues affecting many businesses that create physical products, particularly in a time when global trade tensions and low-cost competition from abroad are significant obstacles. Building and selling hardware can be especially difficult today. Startups often find it hard to compete with cheaper products made overseas while dealing with unexpected costs and delays in getting their products to market. As a result, many companies in this space are feeling the pressure and, unfortunately, some are unable to survive. This trend raises important questions about the future of hardware innovation and the sustainability of these businesses in a rapidly evolving market.
