Russians are flooded with fake products in the markets The share of fake products in the Russian markets continues to grow steadily. At the end of the first half of the year, at least 320,300 cases of counterfeit sales were registered over the Internet, which is 57% more than a year earlier. The majority of transactions of this type took place in markets, where their volume increased by almost 70%, Kommersant notes, citing data from the BrandSecurity platform. The largest share of fake and "gray" products falls on products with high demand and average receipts: clothes and shoes, cosmetics and perfumes, as well as household chemicals. The founder of BrandSecurity, Ruslan Kribulin, points to the increase in the number of foreign sellers on Russian websites as one of the reasons for the negative trend. Often such parties offer their goods at lower prices than the original products. More details.
