How it's used
Used primarily in formal or professional contexts like news reports, financial analysis, or business meetings. It specifically refers to the scale or degree of a decrease rather than the act of decreasing itself. While it sounds natural in a boardroom, it would feel overly stiff or academic in casual conversation with friends.
Measure word

The reduction in rent this year is quite significant.
Related words
Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 減價, which refers to the act of discounting or lowering a price. Use 減幅 when discussing the statistical magnitude of a drop, not when talking about a store sale.
