Experience curve effects

This article is about fall in costs with increased experience in production. For other uses, see Learning curve (disambiguation).
An example of experience curve effects: Swanson's law states that solar module prices have dropped about 20% for each doubling of installed capacity.[1][2]

In industry, models of the learning or experience curve effect express the relationship between experience producing a good and the efficiency of that production, specifically, efficiency gains that follow investment in the effort. The effect has large implications for costs[3] and market share, which can increase competitive advantage over time.[4]
