boom period
Time of prosperity
A boom period is a time of rapid economic growth, expansion, or prosperity.
The phrase emphasizes duration—not just a momentary surge but a sustained stretch of success: The postwar boom period lasted nearly two decades.
It applies beyond economics to any domain experiencing a surge: a boom period for construction, Hollywood's boom period in the 1930s.
