Growth rate

Growth rate is a measure used to show how much a particular variable increases or decreases over a specific period of time. It is usually expressed as a percentage and illustrates the change in size or value of a population, market, or metric between two points in time.

In simple terms, the growth rate records the fluctuating size of a given population or measure by comparing the change from a specific starting point. It is typically calculated by dividing the total positive or negative change (the increase or decrease) over a period by the average value or population during that same period.

In market research and business analysis, growth rates are commonly used to track changes in market size, sales performance, customer numbers, or brand penetration over time. Monitoring growth rates helps organisations identify trends, evaluate performance, and forecast future developments within a market or customer base.
