New economic systems were required to make use of scientific discoveries—these systems did not exist during the Scientific Revolution.
Explanation: The Scientific Revolution produced theoretical knowledge, but the industrial-scale application of that knowledge required factories, capital investment, markets, banking, property rights, improved transport, and entrepreneurial incentives that developed later. It was the combination of scientific knowledge with those new economic and institutional structures (plus energy sources like coal and steam) that drove the economic growth of the Industrial Revolution.
