industrial boom
Factory output explosion
An industrial boom is a period of rapid growth in manufacturing and production, typically marked by expanding factories, rising employment, and economic prosperity.
The phrase often describes transformative eras like the post–World War II expansion: The industrial boom created millions of jobs in the Midwest.
A boom implies sudden, vigorous increase—the economy surging rather than gradually improving.
