Trade in Counterfeit Goods Market Set to Reach €1.67 Trillion in 2030 – Corsearch17.5.2024 00:00:00 CEST | Press release
Corsearch, leading provider of brand protection and trademark solutions, has today shared research predicting that the size of the global trade in counterfeit goods could reach €1.67 trillion by 2030, a 75% increase from that of 2023 and a growth 3.6 times higher than predicted for the global economy over the same period.1 Corsearch calculations estimate that counterfeits accounted for 3.3% of global trade in 2023, and will grow to 5% by 2030 - meaning €1 in every €20 spent globally on products could be spent on counterfeit goods. The total displaced economic activity from counterfeiting in 2022 – namely the cost to brands and manufacturers – totalled €1.02 trillion, resulting in a loss of €162 billion to worldwide sales tax revenue, impacting up to 5.4m jobs.2 In addition to the negative global economic impact of counterfeiting, fake products have a damaging effect on the reputation of brands, reducing customer trust and risking consumer safety.
