IGC-DEFINITION (abbreviated)
Experience curve
The experience curve is based on empirical observations that when the accumulated volume of goods produced is doubled, the total costs per unit may be reduced by between 20 and 30 percent. The experience curve effect describes a potential for cost reduction, which is attainable through conscious cost management, but which by no means happens automatically.
