The Growth of the Grey Market

The gray market (or grey market) is an ever-expanding phenomenon affecting a variety of sectors, including perfumes, cosmetics, watches, jewelry, handbags, leather goods, photographic equipment, gifts, wines and spirits.

This market involves products sold through unauthorized channels, that is, outside the official network established by the manufacturer, causing a loss of control over distribution and damaging brand image.
