English term or phrase: cyclical abandonment rate
The whole phrase: "Individual businesses differ, however, in their susceptibility to technical innovations, legal barriers, work stoppages, and cyclical abandonment rates, all of which can drastically affect total capacity."

a recurring loss of business
Explanation:
I believe this refers to things which are lost in the course of business, ranging from telephone contacts which don't follow through to the (actual, physical) throwing away of shopping carts (often into a river!!). This affects their total capacity for their business.
