Out of the $90 billion loss, how much can EAS prevent?

2026-07-31 - Leave me a message

The InVue website recently published an article, citing data from Appriss' "2026 Retail Industry Total Loss Benchmark Report": American retailers lost 90 billion dollars last year due to product spoilage.

What does 900 billion dollars mean? It's more than the GDP of many countries.

How was this 90 billion constituted?

Employee theft accounted for 29%, amounting to 26 billion dollars annually. Organized retail crime (ORC) accounted for 10%, totaling 9 billion dollars. The combined preventable losses from inventory errors and operational inefficiencies accounted for 73% of the 90 billion.

In other words, most of the losses can be prevented, not something that is "beyond our control".


How much can EAS prevent?

Industry data shows that EAS can reduce the loss of protected products by approximately 25%.

25% may not seem like a large amount, but when applied to a base of $90 billion, it amounts to $22.5 billion. This is a very practical economic figure.


Why are retailers still installing EAS systems?

It's not because EAS is perfect, but because it is effective. A device installed at the entrance, it doesn't take up space, doesn't require constant monitoring, and works 24 hours a day - for theft prevention, this is a basic configuration.

In the first half of this year, Lifangmei Technology shipped over 300 AM antennas to Europe. The customers were those engaged in system integration. They didn't care about industry trend reports. What they cared about was whether the antenna's loss could be reduced after installation. If the loss could be reduced by 25% after one year of installation, then it would be a cost-effective deal.
