nongrowth
Absence of expansion
Nongrowth describes something that doesn't involve or produce growth.
The term appears in economic and policy contexts where growth is typically expected or valued: nongrowth economic models, a nongrowth scenario for the housing market.
In biology, nongrowth phases or conditions are those where organisms maintain but don't increase in size or number.
