Business Bankruptcies Rose 7% in 2025 Alongside a More Supportive Macroeconomic Backdrop
At Dun & Bradstreet, we have been tracking company performance for decades, helping businesses anticipate risks and navigate periods of financial uncertainty.
A clear turning point was reached in 2025, following a two‑year period of rapid increase in business bankruptcies after Covid‑era emergency support was reduced. The pace of increase in overall bankruptcies slowed noticeably, even as bankruptcy levels in many economies remained above their pre‑pandemic levels. The year progressed with a clearer sense of stabilization in many markets as monetary conditions remained tight but predictable, inflation settled into more manageable ranges, and financing expectations adjusted in a more orderly way.
Global economic conditions in 2025 marked a period of gradual stabilization following several years of volatility. Across the 45 economies monitored by Dun & Bradstreet, bankruptcy filings rose by 7% — a clear moderation from the sharp 15% increase recorded in 2024. This easing in the rate of bankruptcies occurred alongside a more supportive macroeconomic backdrop. Inflation receded across many major economies as energy and food prices declined, helping alleviate the input‑cost pressures that had accumulated during the prior inflation cycle.
