5 numbers metrics every shop owner should know:
💸 $112.1B : U.S. retail shrink losses in 2022 (NRF)
📈 +93% : increase in reported shoplifting incidents among NRF-surveyed retailers in 2023 vs. 2019
🇬🇧 20.4M : customer-theft incidents estimated in UK retail in 2023/24 (BRC)
🧾 £2.2B : estimated cost of those theft incidents to UK retailers (BRC)
