According to market participants, there are more and more fake stores. In the first quarter of 2025, the volume of fake goods increased by more than 20%. Especially fake popular spare parts and consumables: brushes, brake pads, filters, lamps and liquids.
Due to copying, the original brands automatically raise products with lower price. However, the quality of such fakes is often doubtful. No guarantee, but it’s hard to return the money – money goes abroad.
Copyright owners and sites such as ozone try to combat the problem: block clones and introduce automatic content test tools. However, this does not always help – new ones appear on the site of block sellers.
Experts believe that the problem is large in nature and requires more strict measures than market, customs and tax. Meanwhile, users should be careful.
