The challenge to protect the reputation of a business from Counterfeit Goods

In the recent times, there has been a trend of showcasing the variety of products with an intention to cast original looks in the products. It happens that the demand for some products cannot meet the production, so the idea of counterfeit has entered the market and scores of people; both manufacturers and buyers get trapped in this matter.

What not, the problem of counterfeit can pose serious challenges to business, and it may cause the serious downfall of the market. Counterfeiting of brand name products is a very common happening in the business.

How does Counterfeit hamper Manufacturers?
Counterfeit is a big loss for the manufacturers who suffer the profit after giving the effort of manufacturing, shaping things. The problem of counterfeit can seriously erode the goodwill of sales and brand reputation.

A single product losing the authenticity can be a challenge for manufacturers to retain the name. As fake products are unsafe and ineffective, it not only hampers the sales revenue of a company but the packaging can hit the market and create a big sale. The art of packaging goods can befool several buyers and become too interested to buy products as per the wants.

The packaging is such an issue that it brings change to the products. Mostly it happens in the case of pharmaceutical products and cosmetics. The well-known and popular brands namely the L’Oréal, Lakme, Olay, Nivea are sold in the market with the duplicity and fake contents. The most popular brands fail to meet up the sales revenue because of the problem of counterfeit.

Steps to avoid Counterfeit
It is advisable to do the shopping, from the reputable retailers, most established stores. One needs to make a serious observation before purchasing because in fairs, flea markets, counterfeit products are available the most.
One can also examine that whether it is a used product or not because the counterfeit products label in such a manner that the batteries of electronic products are sold loose, and in many times, it is used.
One can surely avoid counterfeit products by inspecting the products before purchasing. Feedback of the products is urgently essential to avoid buying the wrong products. Deep discounts can be just the other way to trouble customers.

Counterfeit is such that it can cause to lose the trust of customers and discourage them from relying on original products. The fake products are flooding in the market and degrading the business procedures. So you need to take a step and ensure the preventive measures that will protect the brands as well as the customers.

Why Egypt’s Pharma Industry Needs Next-Gen Anti-Counterfeiting Solutions

Counterfeit medicines remain one of the biggest threats to Egypt’s healthcare system. Patients depend on genuine drugs not only for recovery but often for survival — yet fake medicines continue to circulate, undermining both trust and safety.

According to the Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA), counterfeit medicines make up nearly 10% of the local market in some therapeutic categories.  

These fakes are often disguised with packaging that looks identical to genuine products, making detection extremely difficult for pharmacists and patients.

The consequences are severe:

  • Reduced treatment effectiveness
  • Dangerous health risks
  • Erosion of public trust in brands and the healthcare system
For Egypt’s rapidly expanding pharmaceutical industry — one of the largest in MENA — counterfeiting is no longer a small-scale issue. It’s a national challenge that demands stronger, smarter solutions.

Why Old Defenses Fail

Traditional methods like basic holograms or packaging updates are no longer enough. Counterfeiters are adapting quickly, often staying just one step behind. Pharma companies in Egypt need solutions that go beyond packaging — ensuring authenticity is protected across the entire supply chain.

Next-Gen Anti-Counterfeiting Solutions for Pharma in Egypt

At Lasersec Technologies, we’ve developed advanced anti-counterfeiting solutions designed to tackle the exact challenges Egypt’s pharma sector faces today:

1. Secure QR Codes for Instant Verification :

Give patients and pharmacists the power to instantly verify authenticity with a smartphone scan. This creates transparency and trust at the point of purchase.

2. Serialization & Track-and-Trace (GS1 Standards):

Ensure every pack carries a unique code, providing unit-level visibility from manufacturer to pharmacy. This strengthens regulatory compliance and blocks counterfeit infiltration.

3. Phygital Security Features for Tamper-Proof Packaging:

A powerful combination of physical security elements (holograms, special inks, tamper-evident labels) with digital verification ensures packaging is nearly impossible to replicate.

Together, these solutions protect patients, brands, and supply chains — ensuring only genuine medicines reach the hands of consumers.

Why Egypt Needs to Act Now

With exports on the rise, Egyptian pharmaceutical companies must meet international compliance norms to compete globally. Beyond regulations, the real need is trust — both at home and abroad.

Companies that adopt next-gen anti-counterfeiting today will:

  • Become pioneers of safety and reliability in Egypt’s pharma market.
  • Win stronger patient loyalty through visible safety measures.
  • Improve global competitiveness by aligning with international standards.
