The maximum capacity limit has gone up from 25% to 33% by the end of April, heightening the industry’s expectation on theatre attendance in the near future.

I'm pretty sure "heightening the industry’s expectation" is NOT grammatically correct.
You usually say "raise the bar" or "raise the expectation". Even "elevate" sounds better than "heighten".
