Economies of scale

Economies of scale refer to the status in a production process when a form increases its product output, it decreases production costs. In general any production process consists of fixed costs and variable (production volume related) costs. With more output the fixed costs are relatively lower and hence the advantage. High economies of scale exist in industries with high fixed costs and low variable costs.

Economies of scale refer to the status in a production process when a form increases its product output, it decreases production costs. In general any production process consists of fixed costs and variable (production volume related) costs. With more output the fixed costs are relatively lower and hence the advantage. High economies of scale exist in industries with high fixed costs and low variable costs.
