solch and derart can both express a particularly high degree. However, the construction is different: you say, for example, “solch ein starker Anstieg,” but “ein derart starker Anstieg.” derart remains unchanged as an adverb.

No one expected such a sharp rise in prices.
Mit einem derart starken Anstieg der Preise hatte niemand gerechnet.
