I would argue that "no market need" is not one of the biggest reasons why startups/companies fail. Most startups fail because they fail to execute specifically within their market and/or find their product/market fit. So in other words, market is definitely there but there is failure in execution and inability to capture a decent market share. They try to sell to everyone which basically becomes you sell to no one (unless you are Amazon but that takes 20+ years of capital to survive and is outlier)

I suppose you can speak about it in a few different ways. Whether that's Product Market Fit, or No Market Need. I was going on this research - https://www.forbes.com/sites/deniselyohn/2019/05/01/why-star...
