Usage notes

  • More formal and technical than aumento; common in business, economics, statistics, and reports.
  • Often followed by di + noun: incremento delle vendite, del traffico, della produttività.
  • Use with measurable trends or quantities; less natural for sudden one-time rises in everyday speech.
