REPORT DETAILS
Trademark counterfeiting (hereinafter “counterfeiting”) is a prevalent global risk. A survey of over 13,000 consumers from 17 countries, conducted in seven languages, examined the prevalence of counterfeit purchase behaviors and what predicts past purchase and future purchase intentions. Our approach was informed by three theoretical lenses to explain counterfeit purchase: motivations, theory of planned behavior, and protection motivation theory, to answer the following questions:
- how prevalent is counterfeit purchase behavior?
- what are the common perceptions of counterfeit purchase?
- why do global consumers buy counterfeits?
- who are the counterfeit consumers?
- how do the countries compare?
The findings are framed within the context of global and country-specific actionable insights geared toward helping the brand protection community and related stakeholders better educate consumers about the dangers and risks of purchasing counterfeit products around the world.
