The $160 Billion Product Design Challenge
Recent McKinsey research reveals that poor product design and development decisions cost businesses $160B annually in failed products and missed opportunities. As one of the top product design firms, we’ve identified three critical industry gaps:
The “Beauty Trap”
68% of product design firms near me prioritize aesthetics over usability, creating visually stunning but impractical products.
The Digital Disconnect
Only 19% of design consultancies effectively integrate what is digital product design with physical product requirements.
The Compliance Gap
Particularly in medical product design, 61% of firms address regulatory requirements too late in the process.
Phenomenon Studio’s Human-Centered Design 5.0 methodology solves these challenges through our unique interdisciplinary approach.
