Even though search volume for counterfeits products is a constant, for the first time I the last five years, since 2008 it started decreasing. “Demand for counterfeit products evolves as markets mature on the Internet. As Internet penetration rises, so does the share of searches relating to pre-purchasing activities for authentic roducts,” explains Flavio Quaranta, Associate Partner at IC-Agency.
