English term or phrase: shrinkage
“Unfortunately, the same four months account for about half of all annual shrinkage.” That shrinkage, made up of missing goods from shoplifting and other causes, costs U.S. retailers about $42 billion a year, according to the latest Global Retail Theft Barometer, an annual industry study led by Deyle and inventory management firm Checkpoint Systems.
