Capital intensive

A capital intesnive industry, company, or product, is one whose major costs result from investments in equipment, machinery, or other expensive capital goods.

Mining, utilities, railroads, construction, and heavy manufacturing are capital intensive industries. Financial services and software development, for instance, are usually non capital intensive.
