Excess inventory is stock that a brand cannot sell within its normal sales cycle at planned prices or channels. It sits on shelves or in warehouses, consuming cash, space, and management attention. In the US and EU, where storage fees, fulfillment costs, and inventory‑turnover pressure are high, excess inventory quickly turns from “extra safety stock” into a serious financial burden.

Slow‑moving and dead stock both tie up warehouse space, but they are not the same. Slow‑moving stock still sells, just very slowly. Dead stock has effectively stopped selling and may never move again. In the US and EU, distinguishing them helps brands choose the right exit strategy.
