Decomposition reactions are usually endothermic because they involve breaking of bonds. Breaking bonds requires an input of energy, while forming bonds releases energy.

Answer:
Since a decomposition reaction involves breaking bonds of a large molecule to form two or more smaller molecules, more bonds are broken than are formed, which means that the reaction will require a net input of energy making it endothermic.
The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoing decomposition. If decomposition is sufficiently exothermic, a positive feedback loop is created producing thermal runaway and possibly an explosion or other chemical reactions.
