This last type of product covered by ANSM is a pharmaceutical specialty. Whether brand name or generic, these are drugs that are not reviewed by the health administration for evaluation and inspection and are then sold outside the mainstream legal market. These types of counterfeit drugs are often sold online.

The pharmaceutical industry is doing its part to find a solution. According to the World Health Organization, the circumstances are alarming. Nearly 10% of all drugs available for sale on the global market are counterfeit.

These practices destabilize the market and create shortages of product. The traceability market is booming with annual growth of +15% over the past 4 years and is expected to continue to grow in the years to come.
