From a brochure describing the organic food industry. The sentence says: "... the fastest growing segment of the food industry **averaging** 15-20% growth since 1997..." Does Italian have a verb that could be used here (I can't think of one) -- and if not, what would be a concise phrase that expresses this idea? Grazie di nuovo!

con una media
"...il segmento dell'industria alimentare che è cresciuto con maggiore rapidità, con una (crescita) media del 15-20% dal 1997..."
If you rephrase the sentence, it flows better and you can avoid the repetition 'growing' 'growth'...
Hope it helps,

...la maggior crescita registrata nel settore alimentare da 1997 si attesta su una media del 15-20%...
Concordo con le versioni date dagli altri colleghi. Questa è la mia interpretazione.
