•         The shapewear market in the US faces a significant challenge from the rise of counterfeit shapewear products. These counterfeit items not only harm legitimate businesses but also pose risks to consumers. Counterfeit shapewear often uses subpar materials, leading to skin irritation, allergic reactions, and other health issues. These products bypass rigorous safety and quality testing, potentially damaging the reputation of established brands. Consumers may mistakenly believe counterfeit items are genuine, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction. Counterfeit products can significantly impact sales and revenue for authentic brands. In January 2021, HANESBRANDS INC secured a victory against a Chinese company distributing counterfeit Champion shapewear. Enforcing intellectual property rights and combating counterfeit operations is complex and resource-intensive. Online marketplaces make it easier for counterfeit products to reach consumers, complicating enforcement efforts. The availability of counterfeit shapewear poses challenges to consumer health, brand reputation, and the economic viability of legitimate businesses, potentially limiting the growth of the shapewear market in the US.
