2025 EMEA state of fraud and abuse — electronics

The 2025 EMEA State of Fraud and Abuse report highlights the growing risks facing the consumer electronics sector. Despite steady demand driven by innovation, merchants are under pressure from both fraudsters and consumers engaging in abuse. Signifyd’s Fraud Pressure Index shows a 46% rise in fraudulent GMV, while the Consumer Abuse Index reveals a 68% increase in abuse within electronics. Higher average order values (AOV) make electronics particularly attractive to fraudsters, while legitimate customers exploit return and reseller policies. These trends create operational, financial, and reputational risks for merchants.

Key findings include:

  • Fraud pressure in EMEA up 46% in GMV
  • Average order value fraud increased 32%
  • Consumer abuse up 68% year-over-year
  • Electronics remain a prime fraud target
