Counterfeits cost more than lost sales

💸

Displaced revenue

Every fake sold is a genuine sale you didn't make — the figure above is just the direct hit.

⚠️

Liability & safety

Unsafe fakes trigger complaints, returns and liability that land on your brand, not the counterfeiter.

📉

Eroded trust

Once buyers doubt authenticity they hesitate everywhere — including on your genuine products.

About this calculator

How is the counterfeit cost estimated?

We multiply your annual units sold by the counterfeit rate you enter, then by your average product price. It estimates the genuine sales that counterfeit units could be displacing each year. It's a directional figure to size the problem, not an exact accounting number.

What is a typical counterfeit rate?

It varies widely by category and market. Estimates of counterfeiting often fall in the mid-single to low-double digits as a share of affected categories, and high-counterfeit categories such as electronics, fashion, cosmetics and auto parts can be higher. Use your own market knowledge to set the rate.

How does Traciqo reduce this loss?

Traciqo gives every unit a serialised, verifiable identity, lets customers confirm authenticity in one scan, and flags cloned codes that are scanned from too many devices. Counterfeits become detectable and your genuine products provable — recovering sales and protecting trust.
