Retail Market Statistics

• National Retail Security (for the US market) report – Shrinkage up to 1.51%
• $36.3 Billion annual loss to retailers (1.51% x $2.4 Trillion USA)
• Video security is considered an effective and affordable solution for large retailers
• The 'addressable' shrink is closer to 1.2% (as 20% of total shrink is reported to come from administrative and vendor fraud issues).
• Employee theft and shoplifting remain the big two drivers of shrink with 42.7% of shrink coming from employee theft and 35.6% from shoplifting.
• Retailers use a wide variety of security systems - video surveillance is the second most commonly used solution next to burglar alarms (with 90.5% using digital video recording and 92.4% reporting the use of burglar alarms).
• Retailers are today most interested in video surveillance – remote video surveillance, live CCTV, digital recording and POS/CCTV integration.
• LP budgets were only .34% of retailer's annual sales in 2007. Compare this to early in the decade when budgets were over .5% of annual sales. Of that budget, 30% is used for capital equipment such as security systems.
• With LP budgets decreasing, retailers are looking for more cost effective solutions (megapixel provides this).
