Phrase: On the rise
Use on the rise when something or someone is becoming more successful, popular, or important.
When we say something is on the rise, we mean it is increasing or growing in some way.
Let’s explore how you can use on the rise in different situations, from trending products to famous people.
For example, when a new product becomes very popular, we can say it is on the rise.
Chinese electric car manufacturers, such as BYD, were once relatively unknown outside China, but they are now definitely on the rise.
Many other tech products, such as smartwatches, are also on the rise as more people incorporate them into their daily lives.
People can be on the rise, too.
If an actor starts getting more movie roles and becomes more famous, we can say the actor is on the rise.
Politicians can also be on the rise when they gain more support and win important elections.
For example, Sohei Kamiya, who has won many votes and increased the popularity of his Sanseito party, is clearly on the rise in Japan.
On the rise is often used in the news and on social media.
