In both Brazilian and American business contexts, 'significant increase' is a key term used in quarterly reports, financial statements, and data analysis. In Brazil, companies often emphasize 'aumento significativo' when reporting growth to shareholders. The phrase carries weight in formal documentation and is avoided in casual conversation where simpler terms like 'cresceu muito' (grew a lot) might be used instead.
