How to say "industrialization" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 事業化じぎょうかnoun, suru verb, transitive verbReally means turning a plan or project into an operating business venture — commercialization — and is seldom the word for a country's economic industrialization.
- 工業化こうぎょうかnoun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbThe word you want for industrialization in the economic sense: a country or region developing manufacturing industry. Choose it for national economic development and its history.
- 産業化さんぎょうかnoun, suru verbAlso used for a country's industrialization, but with industry in general rather than manufacturing specifically; it likewise covers a field or activity turning into an industry.
For a country's shift to manufacturing use 工業化; 産業化 views industrialization more broadly, or a field becoming an industry; 事業化 really means turning a plan or project into a business venture.
