A percentage increase is calculated by
((new value - old value)/(old value))*100%.
When (old value) = 0, the fraction is indeterminate. The percentage increase (or decrease) is infinite.
You can multiply 0 by whatever percentage you like, but it will never produce a value that will add up to the new value.
