    (BRUSSELS) – Approximately 86 million fake items were detained in the European Union in 2022 (at the EU external border and in the internal market), according to report published on Tuesday.

    The joint report, published by the European Commission and the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) found the estimated value of fake items detained in the EU amounted to over €2 billion overall, an increase of approximately 3% compared to 2021.

    The report also shows that the five most detained products, in terms of the number of items detained across the EU, were games, packaging material, toys, cigarettes and recorded CDs/DVDs. These items accounted for more than 72% of the products recorded.

    While the number of items detained at the EU border in 2022 went down by 43% compared to 2021, their value increased by 11%, because more items with a higher domestic retail value were detained.

    When it comes to internal market detentions, more fake goods were stopped by police and market surveillance authorities than in 2021 (an increase of almost 26%).

    The value of those goods decreased, however, due to the higher percentage of detained items belonging to cheaper product categories.

    The report is based on figures provided by police, customs and market surveillance authorities from EU Member States in 2022.
