They are prime targets for theft, intrusions, and acts of vandalism. These vulnerable entities include large retailers, boutiques, and luxury brands.
In today’s post-pandemic and inflationary context, perpetrators have become increasingly sophisticated in their methods. Theft, in particular, has seen the most significant increase.
In 2022 alone, the rate of shoplifting in large stores rose by over 20% compared to the previous year. [1] This equates to an annual loss of 300 million Swiss francs for the retail sector in Switzerland.
And in 2024, this trend shows no signs of slowing.
Such incidents can lead to significant financial losses…
… and harm your brand’s reputation.
