A disruptive innovation or disruptive technology is an improvement that assists in creating and developing a new value network and market. After this, ultimately this market goes on for disrupting an accessible and present value network and market. The term disruptive innovation is used in the technology and business literature for explaining the innovations that helps in improving a service or product in such manners that the market does not anticipate.

However, the term disruptive technology is broadly utilized, the term disruptive innovation looks to be more suitable and apt in several contexts.
