kostnadsintensiv

Kostnadsintensiv is a Swedish adjective that translates to "costly" or "expensive" in English. It is used to describe something that requires a significant amount of money to produce, acquire, or maintain. This term can be applied to a wide range of situations, from individual purchases to large-scale industrial processes.

When referring to a product or service, kostnadsintensiv indicates that its price is high relative to its perceived value or compared to similar alternatives. This could be due to the use of expensive materials, complex manufacturing processes, specialized labor, or extensive research and development. For example, a hand-crafted luxury item or a cutting-edge technological device might be described as kostnadsintensiv.

In a business context, kostnadsintensiv can describe an operation or project that incurs high expenses. This might involve investments in advanced machinery, extensive marketing campaigns, or substantial labor costs. A company might aim to reduce the kostnadsintensiv nature of its operations to improve profitability or competitiveness.

Conversely, something that is not kostnadsintensiv is considered affordable or inexpensive. The perception of something being kostnadsintensiv is often subjective and depends on the financial resources and priorities of the individual or organization involved.
