Here are a few reasons why product authentication solutions are necessary for every major industry in the market, and how they address their specific needs optimally.
Agri Products
The agricultural industry is affected heavily by counterfeit products every year, and several studies show that fake agricultural products make up about 5% to 10% of products available in the market, while in exceptional cases, this number can reach a staggering 25%. This not only affects the hard-working farmers who work tirelessly to deliver quality products and other related products, but also the end-consumers who are affected by the counterfeited and fake products, leading to severe health damages in the long run. Moreover, for agriculture brands, it severely affects their trustability and reliability in the eyes of the customer, eventually driving down sales and tarnishing the brand image.
LetsVeriFy offers the agricultural industry some of the most relevant product authentication solutions to counter this alarming issue in the most effective way possible.

These include smart labels, equipped with unclonable technology, that can also be used for tracking and tracing at various levels of the supply chain.
Automobile parts
The automobile industry has been severely affected by counterfeit products over the past few years, and since fake automotive parts are up to 20% to 30% cheaper than genuine parts, they are pushed into markets more easily. Counterfeit automotive parts post a grave threat to any vehicle’s performance and contribute towards jeopardizing overall vehicle safety. This puts innocent and unsuspecting lives in great danger because vital parts such as clutch, lamps, wipers, bearings, and important gears are responsible for a staggering 20% of road accidents in India. This highlights why automobile parts are in dire need of product authentication solutions.

Pharma and Nutraceuticals
Pharma and neutraceuticals have faced consistent threats and risks posed by fake and counterfeit products since time immemorial, and with advancements in technology, counterfeiters are raising the stakes by utilizing innovations to hide and push their products in the supply chain. This is one of the main reasons why ensuring the integrity of products has been a major challenge for pharma companies, and according to a report by WHO, fake drugs drain the global economy of as much as $200 billion in lost profits each year. This is precisely why product authentication solutions are in huge demand in the pharma and nutraceutical industry.

Fashion and luxury goods
The fashion and luxury goods industry has been facing real and concerning counterfeit threats both in the real and virtual worlds. According to ASSOCHAM, the market for fake luxury goods in India touched INR 6,000 crores in 2017. Globally, the fake luxury products market or the fashion black market accounts for an astonishing 7% of the overall global luxury industry. Fake products such as garments, watches, jewelry, and other merchandise are advertised as genuine products, duping unsuspecting customers of billions each year, given the capital-intensive investments required for fashion and luxury goods.

The electrical and electronics industry has been familiarized with the term counterfeiting far too often, and it is a burning issue as counterfeit electricals and electronics cause significant losses amounting to up to $20 billion each year. This is concerning especially because it puts customers’ lives at risk and leads to a decline in brand trust and reputation.

Wine and Spirits
Counterfeiting in the wine and spirits industry has not been highlighted adequately in the mainstream, which is why it is growing at such rapid rates. According to a report by WHO in 2014, unregulated alcohol made up about 25% of total consumption worldwide. In the contemporary scenario, this number has only gone up, with fake, toxic, and often lethal products in circulation. This number is exceptionally high for low-income countries where alcohol is made more economically viable and accessible through counterfeit products. This not only jeopardizes the health of millions but also ruins brand integrity and trust and even costs governments money due to their unregulated nature.
