IMPI identifies seven piracy markets in the CDMX; Tepito and Plaza Meave lead the list

The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) has identified seven major markets in Mexico City where counterfeit goods are sold, with Plaza Meave and Plaza Comercial Meave leading the list. According to an IMPI study, these markets sell counterfeit clothing, accessories, bags, cosmetics, food, footwear, and electronics, often imitating well-known brands. The study notes that while these markets may involve counterfeiting, they are not exclusively dedicated to this activity. In Mexico City, the Central de Abastos and Bazar Pericoapa were not reported as counterfeit markets despite being previously identified. The report highlights that counterfeit products, such as video game consoles and phone accessories, are sold at significantly lower prices compared to genuine items.
