Yes. If the government does not alleviate the cause of the failure, it will likely absorb economic resources and causes inefficiences/deadweight social loss which will only make things worse (aka - more costly). Examples: the Great Depression; Germany hyperinflation of the 1920s.

What is the definition of market failure?

Market failure is when there is a misallocation of resources, such that merit goods are underprovisioned and demerit goods are overprovisioned. If a market does not fail, it means that the supply of the products, or the demand for these products, takes into account the social cost of production. The result of market failure on the supply and demand model is disequilibrium. The implementation of taxation and subsidies are two methods to correct market failure.
