The rising cost of counterfeiting
• By 2013 global financial losses from
counterfeiting and piracy soared to $1
trillion – losses are forecast to jump to
$2.3 trillion by 20181
• Growth of global counterfeiting is
accelerating to 15.6% annually between
2013-2018 (up from 6.8% annually
between 2008-13)
• However, the global solutions market is
running at only 0.52% of financial losses
from product crime in 20131 – a huge
growth potential !

Counterfeiting is growing in value and reach
Counterfeit and pirated products were valued at $650 billion every year in the
G20 - accounting for 5-7% of all global merchandise trade 1
By 2015, this value will exceed $1.2-1.7 trillion - that‘s 2% of the world‘s
current economic output1
The broader economy wide effects in the G20 - e.g. lost tax revenues and
higher welfare spending - are valued at over $125 billion every year. Also 2.5
million legitimate jobs are put at risk annually1

Counterfeits are big brand value detractors
Brand image and reputation are at
risk:
 Consumers see less value in
authentic products vs cheaper
look-alikes
 Brand reputation is harmed once
consumers are let down by
counterfeits that don‘t work ...
and disappointed consumers
tend to be vocal
 At worst, consumers‘ health &
safety may be at risk
 Relationships with distribution
partners will suffer

Drivers behind this growth
Underlying supply and demand
drivers behind this growth:

The increased complexity of the
modern supply chain internationalization, outsourcing, eRetailing etc. mean less control

Low risk, high reward for
counterfeiters - shipments to multiple
assembly locations, anonymity of the
internet, low penalties

Technological improvements have
made detection more difficult allowing sophisticated counterfeiting
with negligible capital investment
Illegitimate goods have pervaded
all market sectors:

from high-end to everyday products

whether counterfeit products, or
properly manufactured products
diverted to improper channels

combination of brand protection functions
RFID 'stand-alone' brand protection application - deploy with the single
purpose of providing a brand authentication feature
RFID 'multi-functional' brand protection application - deploy to deliver
authentication, tamper evidence, tracking and tracing, product history etc
This multi-functionality offers brand owners an integrated end-to-end system

Why RFID?

April 20, 2015
RFID functions take brand protection to the
next level
 RFID can uniquely identify a product - the embedded unique serial identifier
(UID / TID) verifies that the product associated with a tag is genuine and that it
has been supplied through authorized channels
 Secure cryptography integrated into an RFID tag offers very high counterfeit
and cloning protection
 RFID tags can be very small and can be covertly embedded into products no line of sight requirement for reader devices
 RFID tamper protection can be useful to identify if tampering has occurred or
the packaging has been opened previously - resulting in the destruction of a tag‘s
transmission properties

RFID functions take brand protection to the
next level
Traceability systems facilitate supply chain management and inspection helping assess identity, location, ownership trail and condition of an individual
product
 Anti-collision permits near simultaneous identification of hundreds of items hence the ability to count multiple items automatically through packaging and
speed up processing
 Consumers can now verify a product‘s authenticity through their own
smartphone devices to gain assurance on product quality and provenance
This multi-functionality - identification & authentication, track & trace and
tamper resistance - makes RFID a highly cost effective and simple to implement
solution for total brand asset protection

How it works
The mobile phone reads the NFC
tag‘s unique serial reference and
sends this to a centralized database
on a secure server for authentication
Alternatively on-phone decoding and
authentication can take place with
decryption built into an app carried
with the phone - offering an even
higher level of protection
An authentication response is
generated to the consumer:
genuine / not genuine product
