59 mins confidence:

resulting in gains that exceed two figures

Explanation:
"incrementi" can mean "gains" (also "increases", but to my ear "gains" sounds more natural here - however, I've offered two versions of the sentence below, using both terms)) - see Oxford-Paravia unabridged.

A couple of examples of English usage of the suggested phrase:

"The evidence reviewed suggests that a number of training approaches are effective, often resulting in gains that exceed the rate seen in normal development."

journals.cambridge.org/abstract_S0142716400000886

"They have gains that exceed the combination of inflation and retained earnings."

or "resulting in two-figure gains", if "superare"/"exceed" can be omitted, as per the other two answers' answers.

Example sentence(s):

"...from January 2010 the costs of the primary materials increased continually, resulting in gains that exceed two figures."
"...from January 2010 the costs of the primary materials rose continually, resulting in increases that exceed two figures."

in excess of double figures

Explanation:
I also like:

double-figure jumps (has a ring to it, no?) but I know all you Ghit die-hards will pounce on me.

Alternatively, I also like "running into double figures".

...that went into double figures

Explanation:
low conf. because not my field, but this is a phrase I've heard often

depends how you put the preceding part of the sentence

But there are some big differences between what's happening to the market and how well underpinned the market is now, compared to what happened, for example, at the crash in the early 1990's, when actually there were some very fundamental problems with the economy, and inflation was very much higher at that time - it actually went into double figures, interest rates had to be raised sharply and we did see interest rates actually double over a very short period (just over a year) - and the economy went into recession and we had big rises in unemployment.
