skyrocketing
Rising extremely fast
Skyrocketing describes rapid, dramatic increase—like a rocket shooting upward.
Prices, costs, rates, and popularity all skyrocket: skyrocketing inflation, skyrocketing demand.
The word nearly always describes things measured numerically, and almost always things rising rather than falling.
Housing prices are skyrocketing in the city.
