KEY REASONS OF COUNTERFEITING GROWTH
the economy of the countries
legal authorities
consumers
manufacturers of luxury brand goods and counterfeiters as well
high illiteracy rate level low purchasing power increasing unemployment rate ineffective law enforcement little risk for large profits low probability to get caught weak legal infrastructure and
corruptible public officials
Countries’ Situation And Legal Authorities:
The aspiring attitude of consumers who wish to buy latest luxury branded products but cannot afford the original luxury goods
When consumers start giving more value to the insignia of a brand on the product instead of the other product attributes, they tend to buy more low-price low-quality counterfeits instead of originals
Moreover, high power distance in various cultures also leads to high demand for counterfeits of luxury goods
Consumers – The Demand Side
Counterfeits of luxury brands do not require much effort to be sold, nor do they require much money to be manufactured
The amount of money and time invested is lower
Ease of imitating brands due to advancements in technology
Highly fragmented channels of distribution
Manufacturers - Legitimate And Counterfeiters
Impact On The Industry And Government
Innovation is undermined
Criminal networks gain financially
The environment is negatively affected
Workers are worse off. Moreover in
countries where counterfeiting and piracy
is widespread
Foreign direct investment may be lower
the structure of trade may be affected
