How this market is covered
Revenue by end use
Sensor tags and labels are fixed to items and are removed or deactivated by the clerks using a label deactivator when the item is properly bought or checked out. If the active tags are passing by then detection systems that are installed at building exits will sound an alarm or alert the staff. Thus, electronic article surveillance systems enables retailer to safely allow a customer free ranges of many of their items while minimizing stock theft. This system also allows the tagged stock to be easily seen and accessed by customers, rather than putting them in locked glass cabinets or behind the counter.
North America is the largest electronic article surveillance system followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness highest growth during the forecast period due to its flourishing economy. Electronic article surveillance is considered the most successful and effective and scalable anti-shoplifting system available its popularity has soared over the last decade, with reports indicating over one million EAS systems have been installed globally, primarily within the retail sector.
