US Economy Update
Over 600 major companies in the United States have filed for bankruptcy so far this year.
New Delhi: President Donald Trump has been pressuring countries worldwide to invest in the U.S., yet American companies are struggling. As of now, 655 major companies have declared bankruptcy in 2025, marking the highest number in 15 years. Excluding last year, this is the largest figure since 2010. In comparison, 687 major companies went bankrupt in 2024. Analysts predict this number could approach 800 by year-end.
Breaking it down by months, 76 companies went bankrupt in August, 66 in September, and 68 in October. Since 2022, the number of bankruptcies has doubled. The industrial sector leads the list with 98 bankruptcies, followed by consumer discretionary (80) and healthcare (45).
The continuous rise in bankruptcies indicates that even the world’s largest economy is facing serious challenges.
