How to say "increased" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 増益ぞうえきCommon
    noun, suru verb, intransitive verbCovers 'increased' specifically for profit. Use it in business and financial contexts when talking about earnings that have grown; it is not a general way to say something simply increased.
  • 倍旧ばいきゅう
    no-adjectiveA less common literary word meaning redoubled or increased in degree, as in intensified effort. For most learners it is seldom the word you want for 'increased'; it really belongs to formal written style.
  • より一層よりいっそう
    expression, no-adjectiveMeans increased or greater in degree — even more than before. Use it adverbially, as in working harder or feeling greater motivation; it is less common than plainer everyday alternatives.

Choose 増益 for increased profit; 倍旧 and 「より一層」 both cover 'increased' in the sense of greater degree, with 「より一層」 the more usable everyday adverb.
