According to data from the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), counterfeiting causes annual losses of 337 million euros in Portugal's clothing sector and 83 million euros in the sectors of bags, jewelry, and watches.

De acordo com os dados do EUIPO, avançados em comunicado, em Portugal, a contrafação causa perdas anuais de 337 milhões de euros no setor do vestuário e de 83 milhões de euros nos setores das malas, da joalharia e dos relógios.

Já em termos globais, na União Europeia (UE), o setor da moda e do vestuário "sofre perdas anuais estimadas em 12 mil milhões de euros, enquanto as malas, joias e relógios falsificados custam aos fabricantes genuínos cerca de 2,7 mil milhões de euros em vendas perdidas todos os anos na UE".

Segundo os resultados do inquérito realizado à escala da UE, metade dos consumidores da UE valorizam um bom design e cerca de três em cada quatro (73%) "estão dispostos a pagar mais por um produto com um design mais aprimorado".

Ainda assim, "impulsionados pela expansão do comércio eletrónico e pela influência das redes sociais", têm surgido mais produtos contrafeitos e cerca de 13% dos europeus afirmam ter comprado intencionalmente este tipo de produtos, "um valor que sobe para 26% entre os consumidores mais jovens, com idades compreendidas entre os 15 e os 24 anos".
