overcapacity
overcapacity
Danh từ
This term is primarily used in economic and industrial contexts to describe a systemic imbalance where supply potential far outweighs market demand. It carries a negative connotation of inefficiency, waste, and potential financial instability, often leading to price wars or the need for structural downsizing.
In a physical or logistical sense, the word describes a state of overcrowding. While "overcrowded" is a common adjective for people, "overcapacity" is the formal noun used to describe the state of the facility itself, often implying a breach of safety regulations or operational limits.
