industrial capacity
Factory production potential
Industrial capacity is the maximum output a nation, region, or economy can produce from its factories, plants, and manufacturing infrastructure.
The term appears most often in discussions of war, where industrial capacity determines how quickly a country can produce weapons, vehicles, and supplies: Germany underestimated American industrial capacity.
In economics, capacity utilization measures how much of this potential is actually being used.
