Growth vs Wachstum

growth

'das Wachstum' and 'der Growth' can mean the same thing in a business context: a company, a market, or an economy becomes larger or more successful. 'Wachstum' is the normal German word and fits in almost all situations. 'Growth' is an English term and sounds natural especially in start-ups, marketing, or corporate language. Learners may confuse the words because they can be the same in meaning. In practice: in neutral German, 'Wachstum' is usually safer; in modern business language, you also hear 'Growth'.
