marktverhogende

Marktverhogende is a Dutch adjective formed from markt (market) and verhogen (to raise). In economics and business it describes actions, factors, or policies intended to increase the size, activity, or value of a market. The term is used broadly to cover demand-side and supply-side interventions, as well as structural changes that make the market more attractive or accessible for participants.

To be marktverhogend, measures aim to expand demand, improve market efficiency, or lower barriers for entry and competition. Examples include subsidies or tax incentives that boost consumer spending or business investment, public investments in infrastructure or digital platforms that reduce transaction costs, and deregulation or standardization that enable new entrants. Marketing, distribution expansion, and export promotion can also be described as marktverhogende when they enlarge a market's reach or capacity to absorb products and services.

The effectiveness of marktverhogende measures depends on context, size of the fiscal impact, and how stakeholders respond; unintended effects, such as distortions or misallocation of resources, may occur. In policy debates, it is contrasted with market-stabilizing or market-constraining approaches, and is often evaluated against goals like growth, employment, and efficiency. The term is related to concepts such as marktvergroting (market enlargement) and marktstimulerende maatregelen.
