AbstractOne of the rising issues in the economy is the sale and purchase of the counterfeit products inopen markets. This increase rate in the sale and purchase of the counterfeit lead toward theeconomic disasters and they also affect the sale volume a well as Brand image of the originalBrands. For that reason explore different factor which positively enhance the purchase decisionof the consumers toward Counterfeit products. These factors are Finding Grace, EndingMonotony, Positive externalities, affordability for bottom of permanent, creating authenticity andknowledge Deficiency. By controlling these factors the purchase of the counterfeit products can
be reduced. To prove the relationship of these factors with purchase behavior we select a sampleof 225 respondents from Gujranwala , Sialkot , Daska , Sambrial an taxila these are all the
persons who are the purchaser of original Brands but knowingly they also purchase counterfeitProducts also.Key words: Counterfeit products, finding grace, Ending Monotony

1. Introduction
1.1 Significance of the study
Counterfeit purchases are one of the most serious problems facing luxury brand marketers. The
luxury brand industry is losing well over $12 billion annually due to counterfeits. Counterfeiting
has become a worldwide problem valued at more than $250 billion; accounting for almost 2% of
world trade in 2009 (Interpol, 2009). Counterfeit is a worldwide problem, every developing as
well as developed country facing this problem on macro level. It directly impact on economy of
every country. In Pakistan it is more prominent as compared to other country due to lawlessness;
it is a major factor of our backwardness & frustration. The demand and supply of the counterfeit
product both are illegal activities. These products damage our economic condition very badly.
The purchase and sale of the counterfeit products increased day by day. To control the purchase
percentage of counterfeit products the thing which our economy need is the awareness of effect
of counterfeit products in consumers. Make the consumer rational while purchasing a product
this study is much helpful for them.
1.2 Problem statement
Counterfeit goods are defined as identical copies of authentic products (Lai and Zaichowsky,
1999).About forty years ago the first cases of brand counterfeiting emerged. At that time, only a
few manufacturers of very highly priced and very prestigious products like textiles, jewelry and
accessories were affected and it was assumed that this phenomenon would be of minor
significance. Since then, however, counterfeiting has become widespread and has developed into
an economic problem of international significance. Recent figures estimate that seven percent of
the worlds merchandise trade, or $512 billion in 2004, may be based on trade with c ounterfeit
products (Balfour 2005). Due to high trend of counterfeiting multinational companies as well as

worldwide. According to recent calculations seven percent or $512 billion in 2004 merchandise
trade is based on counterfeit products throughout the world. (Balfour 2005).
Now a day Counterfeiting become a worldwide economic problem, counterfeiting is growing
very rapidly throughout the world it is a crime which is spreading very fast day by day. (Phillips,
2005). Counterfeit products are defined as indistinguishable copies of valid products which is
identical to the original products (Lai and Zaichowsky, 1999). In other words we can say that
Counterfeit products are those which are identical to a brand which is registered and that product
violate upon the rights of the original brand holder. [Chaudhry, P.E. and M.G. Walsh, 1996
Grossman, G. and C. Shapiro, 1988.]. Counterfeit products are those which are associated with
remarkable brand name and due to its remark ability different people copied their features in
other products and made the identical copies of these branded products and then sale these
products with the name of associating brand on cheap price and some time on the same time with
poor quality in different markets.
Counterfeit products are same copy of the original product but the quality of the product varies in
counterfeit goods many people are unable to differentiate between original and fake because they
sold counterfeit product by associating it with remarkable brand some time people may judge the
valid and fake product but mostly they become confuse between original and fake products.
(Zaichkowsky, 1995). But some people are status conscious and to maintain the status eco they
bought luxury counterfeit goods by their own willingness (Bloch et al., 1993).
There are different types in counterfeiting counterfeits are may the manufacturing of the goods
which are same in their packing with the brand name or same in colors which looks same as the
original one and can easily betray customer. (Key, H., and 1990.).
By the many passing years the problem of counterfeit spread widely it is a big threat for the

like its brand name its symbol with which it is associated. (Bosworth, D. and D. Yang, 1996).
The studies which are only focus on the appearance of the products are unable to differentiate
between the counterfeit product which have two different types which are deceptive and non-
deceptive counterfeiting (Grossman, G. and C. Shapiro, 1988, Chakra borty, G., A. T. Allred,
and T. Bristol., 1996).
In old studies mostly researchers mostly focus on supply side instead of demand side. (Bamossy
and Scammon, 1985), but focus is on demand side of counterfeiting mostly in recent studies.
(Ang et al., 2001; Nia and Zaichkowsky, 2000; Phau and Teah, 2009; Wilcox et al., 2009;
Zaichkowsky, 2006).
Demand of counterfeit affected by the demand for luxury products because people cannot afford
them and they want to be socially stable thats why they move towards counterfeiting. (Ang et
al., 2001; Nia and Zaichkowsky, 2000; Wilcox et al., 2009; Zaichkowsky, 2006).many
researcher studied about counterfeiting and some study about its practices that these goods which
are unlawful and people buy them without any restriction it is criminal act. The researcher who
studied this criminological act in demand side includes criminologists, criminal psychiatrist and
sociologists studying deviant behavior, legal scholars as well as business and marketing scholars
(Albers-Miller 1999; Dubinsky et al. 2005; Harvey and Ronkainen 1985).
In past decade researcher focus of study is empirical investigation about the counterfeit of supply
side they mostly neglect the demand side of counterfeiting since mid- 1990s after publishing a
special issue about Psychology and Marketing in which major focus is the consumer behavior
about different things also study about the customer fraud and misbehave by Budden and
Griffith (1996) in this response the famous scholar of marketing, Elisabeth Hirschman, show
attention and express that there is great need to explore the demand side of counterfeit and

consumer behavior about purchasing counterfeit.
Different studies showed that counterfeiting is a crime but the customer give many reasons for
using counterfeits they have many justifications they think that it is not a crime to buy or use any
counterfeit product customers are willing to buy counterfeit due to different reasons they may
buy counterfeit because its reasonable.(Tom et al., 1998).
According to suggestion of Tom et al. (1998) the customer of counterfeit do not think and care
about the loss of economy due to counterfeit products they thought that they bought goods which
give them comfort in reasonable price which is very cheap as compare to original one. They do
not think that it is against law or criminal act they give justification that nothing wrong to
purchase counterfeit they said that the branded products charge more than 1ts worth which is not
affordable so they purchase counterfeit product but they do not care that it is harmful for whole
economy. Due to this behavior of customer counterfeiting is spreading vary rapidly.
Mostly it has seen that companies who manufacture counterfeit have much influence on the
behavior of consumer as well as on whole society. People who purchase counterfeit give
justification of their behavior towards counterfeiting they much concerned about the price rather
than quality. (Shoham et al., 2008). But the purchase of counterfeit is harmful for the original
brand holder it damages our economy on large scale it may have some advantages for the
companies who manufacture counterfeit products or for the customer but it have a great loss for
original one. Morales (2005) it is also seen that mostly people buy counterfeit products to
maintain their social status they just buy it for show off and want to look more then their friends
and their society in less resources. Due to fewer resources they buy counterfeit for status quo.
So we can say that people demand counterfeit products due to purchasing power , social status ,
cultural norms , personally traits , demographic features and after analyzing the cost and benefit

15Factor influence Purchase decision of consumer toward counterfeit products.
Finding Grace: Grace means charm, elegance and poise. While purchasing anything people
keeps this thing in their mind to maintain their status and self-respect. Normally counterfeit is
influenced by people who either didnt able to afford brands, want to maintain social status, find
shortcut or are heavy purchaser. For that purpose they give their justifications that Brands are
expensive and unaffordable for a middle class community; therefore they purchase counterfeit
goods on lower prices in order to maintain their social status easily. Some time they want to look
superior in the eyes of others or want to attend a party of brand conscious people at that time
they found counterfeit as shortcut to maintain their social status. In our society social status is
one of the reasons to use counterfeit brands because every consumer wants to increase his looks
with precious brands in order to look superior and expensive in the eyes of other. But this thing
is difficult a consumer having less income so he use counterfeit to fulfill his desire in less
income. So the finding grace has the positive impact on the attitude of the consumer toward
counterfeit purchase.
H 1: finding the grace significantly affect the attitude of the consumer toward counterfeit
products.
Ending Monotony: According to dictionary monotony means Uniformity or lack of variation in
pitch, intonation, or inflection. In other words monotony create to visit a place again and again
and seeing same thing. Same will happened in the scenario of brands people get bored to visit a
brand again and again as they always see same products at that shop because brand has the
limited no. of articles. To end their monotony they move towards counterfeit products. Once they
came towards it if they find a different product there they buy that product to look different from
others. So we can say that ending monotony has the relationship with purchasing of counterfeit.

16Factor influence Purchase decision of consumer toward counterfeit products.
Brands are having good quality and can use for long term due to that people get bored to use it
again and again this will increase their utility and they move towards counterfeit products. In
brands there are limited designs but more number of buyers everybody has to purchase these
products so to differentiate themselves from others they move towards counterfeit products. It is
the nature of a human to look different to behave different from other people for that they move
towards counterfeit products because in that they have more choices and more different and
unique styles which differentiate them from their social circle. From all the discussion we can
say that there is a positive relationship between ending monotony and attitude of the consumer
toward counterfeit products which further move toward the purchase intention of consumer about
counterfeit products.
H 2: Ending monotony has significant impact on the attitude of the consumer toward
counterfeit products.
Knowledge deficiency: Knowledge deficiency means lack of awareness, information etc. this
lack of knowledge affect Consumer. This knowledge deficiency of consumer also effects the
purchase decision of the consumer. The people who have lack of knowledge about the brands
they move toward the purchase of the counterfeit products. Sometime people purchase
counterfeit products because they didnt know about brands and t hey purchase it by considering
it original Brand. Sometime faulty product recognition plays an important role in the purchase of
the counterfeit products. Because people have no personal capability to judge the difference
between the original and he counterfeit products so the shopkeeper shows them such qualities of
a product which didnt have these qualities in actual which results consumer purchase that
product which is the counterfeit. People also didnt know form where they purchase branded
product this is all because of their knowledge deficiency. When the consumer dont have any

idea about the location of branded product he will prefer to purchase counterfeit instead of to
search out the branded shops. Consumer also comes toward counterfeit product due to peers.
peer also effect the purchase decision of the consumer who has the knowledge deficiency about
the products because the consumer try to follow their peer group which they said , they act and
they wear consumer also try to convert himself in these things. If their peer uses counterfeit they
think that it is the right choice for themselves also. Attractiveness of a product also cause for the
purchase of the counterfeit products because People dont have any idea about the comfort level
of the original product they prefer the physical outlook of the product. Misperception and
knowledge deficiency about brand led us towards buying of a counterfeit product. From this we
can extract a relationship between Purchase of the counterfeit and knowledge deficiency this is
the positive relationship. If the knowledge deficiency increases in the customer then it positively
move toward the attitude of the consumer toward the counterfeit.
H 3: knowledge deficiencies positively impact the attitude of the consumer toward
counterfeit.
Positive Externalities: An externality is an effect of a purchase or use decision by one set of
parties on others who did not have a choice and whose interests were not taken into account
(dictionary.com).Counterfeit product have a positive effect on the purchase of the branded
goods. In the absence of counterfeit products brands can create its monopoly and can charge
whatever they want to charge from the consumers. No doubt counterfeit is a crime but it also
playing a vital role to decrease the exploitation of the consumers they also create stability in the
market in pricing as well as designing and create healthy competition against brands. Sometime
people thinks that brands over charge from their worth and due to that they became market driver
so counterfeit products are good as they create a competition with brands as counterfeit products

charge less and create a healthy competition in the market, due to counterfeit products brand
image of a product also decreases as people can get a chance to get lump sum same quality from
the market in the form of counterfeit goods. So the relationship which exists between attitude of
the consumer toward counterfeit product and positive externalities is positive.
H 4: The positive externalities significantly increase the attitude of the consumer toward
counterfeits.
Creating authenticity: Brands are expensive to purchase and are quite common in some societies.
People want to differentiate themselves with other for that they want to get anything unique
which make them rebel in society for that they start to purchase counterfeit. Consumer thinks
himself as rational consumer he did not purchase brands because they are costly having low
product line with almost same quality with counterfeit. So he moves toward counterfeit to fulfill
his desire in minimum resources. Consumer also thinks himself as sensible shopper while saying
that what he is purchasing is much better and superior form others. They said counterfeit play
same role as brand so why they purchase costly when cheaper option is available. Some time
they purchase counterfeit and think that other does not able to know or cannot differentiate that
between original and counterfeit. Consumer thinks that he is doing a sensible act while deceiving
other with counterfeit. On the other hand smart shop keeper who sell counterfeit products
convince customer by telling qualities and by the price of that product. Both the customer from
the demand side and the seller from supply side of counterfeiting show their positive attitude
towards counterfeiting by creating authenticity in product.
H 5: Creating authenticity positive impact on the attitude of the consumer toward
counterfeit products.

Affordability for bottom of paramount: Pakistan is a developing country in which individual
income as well as inflation rate is quite high and due to instability with in the country people are
engaged in financial crises and cant afford to buy luscious stuff and they move towards
purchasing of counterfeit. Behavior of consumers changes towards brands because brands charge
much and people are having less purchasing p ower and cant able to buy brands. Family pressure
also enforces people to purchase counterfeit products. Families having less income are unable to
purchase brands and came towards counterfeit products. Sometime consumer from less affluent
families influence by pairs and from trend they try to follow that trend and peer due to lack of
affordability they move towards the attitude of the consumer toward counterfeit. Affordability
for bottom of permanent has a positive relation with the attitude of the consumer toward
counterfeit.
H 6: Affordability for bottom of permanent has significant impact on consumer attitude.
Attitude towards counterfeit products: Attitude of consumer toward counterfeit product lead
toward the intention to purchase of counterfeit products. Attitude towards intention to purchase
counterfeit products can be positive or negative effect on the basis of the explained factors.
Attitude to counterfeit is positive to Intention to purchase counterfeit then the consumer go for
the purchase of the counterfeit product and in other situation the attitude of the consumer about
the counterfeit products is negative then the intention to purchase counterfeit towards the
purchase of counterfeit go reverse. So the purchase of counterfeit product is totally depending on
the attitude of the customer about the counterfeit products.

of the consumer about the purchase of the counterfeit products. If the attitude of the consumer
about counterfeit is positive then the intention to purchase is also positive toward the purchase
decision of the counterfeit, if they have positive thinking then they purchase the product
otherwise do not purchase the counterfeit product in our study we assume that the intention to
purchase of counterfeit has positive toward counterfeit purchase.

3 Research Methodology
3.1 Sample Selection (size & Techniques):
In our study we checked how attitude, intention to purchase counterfeit product and the
purchase decision of individual vary in different cities i.e. Sialkot, Gujranwala, Daska, Taxila,
and sambrial. To fulfill this thing Cluster sampling is most suitable sampling technique for our
study. Thats why we use cluster sampling in our study.
The formula to calculate the sample size for our study is 1:10 which mean for every 1
question we have 10 respondents. The no. of variables in our study is 9 and we ask 5 question
against one variable so total no. of question which we asked is 9*5=45 questions so according to
that the total no. of respondents us 45*5= 225

21Factor influence Purchase decision of consumer toward counterfeit products.
So n=225 and the response rate is 97.77%.Our study type is casual study because we
want to check the impact of different factors which we address in our study on the buying
behavior of consumers toward counterfeit products. Our one of research question is to investigate
and identify the relationship between factors and consumer buying behavior. In this study
researchers inference is minimal because our study type is non-contrived we collect all
information in the natural setting no personal effort is added. Our sample frame is individual who
are the buyer of original brand but knowingly purchase the counterfeit products. The time
horizon which we use in our study is Cross-sectional because we have to follow the time limit
and we check the responses of different individuals in same time period.
3.2 Population frame
Our research topic is the purchase of the counterfeit products. To analyze the factor which
influence the purchase decision of the individuals the target population of our study is the
individuals who are the purchaser of counterfeit products and sometime knowingly purchase the
counterfeit products and these people are belong to Sialkot, Gujranwala, Daska, Taxila and
Sambrial.
3.3 Unit of analysis
The objective of our study is to explore the factor which influences the purchase behavior of
individuals toward counterfeit products. To fulfill this objective our base for analysis is the
individual who ever use the counterfeit products as well as Original products.
3.4 Type of study
As we check the impact of independent variables on dependent variables which are not addressed
-

22Factor influence Purchase decision of consumer toward counterfeit products.
in literature in with relation to purchase of counterfei t products so our study type Casual
study.
3.5 Time Horizon
The time horizon of or study is cross-sectional due to time limit. We are unable to check the
purchase behavior of people in different time periods. For this we personally involve in the
interview with the respondents which is difficult in given time limit. So in our study we only
check the purchase behavior of different individuals in a particular time period through
questionnaire.
3.6 Researcher Strength
We have grip on our topic i.e. factor which affect the purchase decision of individuals toward the
counterfeit products. To get the thorough knowledge about our topic we read latest articles on
counterfeit. In these articles we know many forms of the counterfeit product like piracy, copy,
illegitimacy etc. to know the difference between the terms which use in place of counterfeit we
read articles on that particular term. Our personal experience also help us to get more
information about the demand side of the counterfeit we firstly check our attitude while we
purchase a counterfeit product what factor influence us to purchase that particular product. After
that we conduct some interviews with the buyer of the counterfeit users and know the attitude of
individual while purchasing the counterfeit products.
3.7 Instrument development/selection
As we said our study is more exploratory. The variable which we select which is not addressed in
the literature so we have to developed new scale for our independent variables. However the
attitude of the consumer, intention to purchase and the purchase is addressed in the literature
with respect to other factors so we go for adaption for these variables.

3.8 Data collection procedures
The time horizon of our study is cross-sectional and the sample size is 225 so data collection
through questionnaire is more suitable for our study because we have no sufficient time to
conduct interviews of 225 respondents. The technique which is used to collect data is cluster
sampling because the objective of study is to check the buying Behavior of individual
geographically.
3.9 Data analysis techniques
The objective of our study is to check the impact of independent variables on the dependent
variable so to analysis our data we use the regression analysis techniques , to check Hypothesis
which we develop on the basis of Research objective and research questions we run T-test and
one-way ANOVA.
3.10 Data analysis software
For our data analysis we use SPSS software.

of skewness and kurtosis should be zero for normality. Our data results for skewness and kurtosis
are close to zero which means our data is normal. We also run the Q-Q plot, fisher box plot but
the results of these analysis are not support our study. So we rely on the results of Skewness and

different angles. It also tells the internal consistency between the items for thatpurpose we use
the value of Chronback Alpha.
The condition for reliability is that the value of chronback alpha should be greater than
0.60(nunnli 1970). Table 3 shows the reliability of all independent variables

The value of alpha for all variables is greater than 0.60 which means all items of all variables are
hand together and define the concept.
4.4 Factor analysis
Factor analysis is combination of methods which is used to observe how our construct scales
manipulate the response of related variables.
Many scientific studies are based on the fact that various v ariables are used to differentiate
objects (Rietveld& Van Hout 1993: 251). Means the study which have different variables use
questionnaire to measure the response of different respondents about single object from different
dimensions but the study in which intellectual ability is experienced measured via different
several subtests (Darlington 2004). Although the use of variables the study becomes complicated
but it is a good way to measure the different aspect of same underling variable Factor Analysis
and Principal Components Analysis both are used to shrink he huge data of objects to smaller
figure of extent and components. These techniques are used when questionnaire is used in study
to analyze the association between the objects. It is also used in general to shrink a larger set of
variables to a smaller set of variables that explain the important extent of variability.
Specifically, Factor analysis aims to find original hidden factors, whereas principal components
analysis aims to summarize experimental variability by a lesser number of apparatus.

It also tell The loading score of dimensions of all self-developed concepts i.e. with how much
percentage the item is load on the dependent variable for that the value of loading score is greater
than 0.40 if the condition is fulfill than the dimensions which we use define the concepts
The EFA has two assumptions which have to fulfill for rendering of further analysis.
i. The value of KMO should be greater than 0.6 It tells the accuracy of sample size
ii. The score of Bartleys test signif icance should be less than 0.05. it tells about the
genralizability of the sample size on the population.
EFA tells us the reflection of items on the variable. Table 4 tells the loading score and the values
of KMO and Bartleys test.

According to the above results. The loading scores of all variable are greater 0.40. The
assumptions of KMO and Bartleys test also fulfill. In our analysis we put all items in one basket
or shrink the items in one component. These results are on the basis of fixed no. of values.

5 Correlation
Correlation is basically run to analyze the relationship between two or more variable. It also measure
that how two variables move in relation to each other. It measures the strength and direction of linear
relationship between two variables that how two variables move with respect to each other. Table 5
shows the strength and direction of two variables.

The highest strength is 0.698 it is between PI and ATP. This strong relationship might be due to
multicoronality. The relationship between all variables is positive at significant level 0.01. Which
means there are 99% chances that the relationship between these all two variables remains same as
shown in the above table if the sample changes and the sample size and population remain same?
There are 1% chances that the result of sample will change.
6 Regression
Our research problem is to check the effect of factors on the purchase decision of consumer toward
Counterfeit products. For that problem statement we develop 8 hypotheses which are based on to
check the impact of different factors which address in the study on the dependent variable. For that
purpose we have to apply regression because regression tells the impact of independent variable on
the dependent variable. Our frame work contains 3 dependent variable thats why we have 3 model
of regression equation. Table 6, 7 and table 8 shows the impact of factors on the dependent variables.
In first model we run the regression equation between FG, PE, KD, ABP, EM and Purchase attitude .

This equation shows that the other all factors remain unchanged or zero then the attitude of the
consumers toward counterfeit remain 0.155 and if the one people move toward FG then the attitude
toward counterfeit products increase by 0.133, knowledge deficiency increase then the ATP will
increase by 0.154 and with the change in EM the ATP will increase by 0.187 and the change rate in
ATP due to change in PE is 0.030 and the due to ABP the change rate in ATP is 0.150 and the
change rate in ATP due to change in CA is 0.315.
Coefficient values tells the per unit change in the attitude of the purchase of the counterfeit products.
The hypothesis for positive externality and ABP rejected because the significance value is less than
0.05. This means that the PE and ABP do not have significant positive impact on the attitude toward
purchase intention.
Table 8

This is the second model of regression equation in this model the purchase attitude is independent
and the intention to purchase is dependent. This model shows that if the attitude of consumer is zero
then the fixed value of purchase intention of consumer is 1.499 and with the increase in the purchase
attitude the purchase intention increase by 0.646.
The hypothesis is accepted because the results are significant and the purchase attitude has the
significant impact on the intention to purchase.

of Consumers toward counterfeit products. These percentages tell the real time jump in the
explanation of variable which is overestimated by the R square. R square overestimate the
percentage with the increase in the independent factor but in reality this jump is not accurate then
adjusted R square adjusts the value at the real point.
7 TWO-sample Independent T-test
Two sample t-tests are run to check the difference between the mean of two population our one of
research question is how the Buying Behavior between two genders varies. To answer this research
question we use two sample independent t-tests. To apply this test the assumption of t-test should be
fulfilled i.e.
Normal Data
Leven Test should be insignificant
Table 10 shows the results of two samples T-test
Table 11
F Sig. T df sig. Mean Diff. Hypothesis3.721 .055 -1.760 198 .080 -.32373 Rejected
In this output we assume the mean variance between buying behavior of male and female is
equal. The mean difference between buying behavior of male and female is 0.32373.the
assumption of Levine test is fulfilled i.e. the results are insignificant so we can apply the two
sample t-test.The results of t-test significant because the p-value is greater than the 0.05 which means the
difference in Buying Behavior between male and female is significant which shows that the
mean difference between Buying Behavior of male and female also occurs in the population.

8 ANOVA
ANOVA is used to check the difference between the averages of more than two populations. In
our research question we want to check the effect of Qualification in the Buying Behavior of the
consumer toward Counterfeit Products. Positive externalities, Affordability for bottom of permit
and creating authenticity Differ according to the age and knowledge differences and Ending
monotony varies according to Qualification level. We use One-Way ANOVA test. The
assumption of ANOVA test is the result of test of homogeneity should be insignificant.
Table 11 shows the results of ANOVA:

The assumption of test of Homogeneity is filled i.e. the results of Levine test should be insignificant
the above table shows the insignificant results. So we can run the ANOVA for that research question
and the results of ANOVA are statistically insignificant which means that the mean buying Behavior
of counterfeit products not differ according to the qualification. So our hypothesis rejected which
means that the mean of all populations is equal. The other hypothesis for knowledge deficiency ,
positive externality , creating authenticity Ending monotony all are significant which means the
hypothesis for all that variables are accepted.

9 Discussion
The hypothesis H4 rejected which is the positive externality has the positive impact on the
attitude of consumer toward the purchase intention of the counterfeit products. The reason for
rejection is that the most of our respondents are students which think that the counterfeit has no
positive impact on the market condition because they dont have enough exposure of the market
environment and the students and the below 30 year of age which are unable to compare the
price affect due to involvement of the counterfeit products. The second hypothesis which is
rejected is that the level of buying behavior differs between genders but according to the
respondents the difference is exist but the difference on the base of 200 respondents is not
significant which means in actual this is not happen in population. The reason behind that are the
cultural values of province Punjab. In these areas the gender differences are not much higher
thinking and behavior of male and female almost the same in Sialkot, Daska, Sambrial and
Gujranwala. The next Hypothesis which is rejected is that the buying Behavior of consumer
toward counterfeit products varies if the Qualification level varies but these sample results are
not applicable on the population in reality in our population the buying Behavior is not varies if
the qualification level changes. This also happens due to strong belief, values and personality
traits. In our culture from the childhood our mind set is very strongly attached with which we
learn in our learning session so it is difficult for us to change our belief values and personally
traits. The all other Hypothesis of our research are accepted. Which means all independent
variables has the positive impact on the attitude toward the purchase of counterfeit and the
attitude also positively impact on the intention to purchase and finally intention force or lead the
consumer toward the purchase of counterfeit products. Acceptance of hypothesis shows that the
level of finding grace, Ending monotony, knowledge deficiency and creating authenticity have

the same level in population. The H10 and H11which is creating authenticity differs in different
age groups. This hypothesis accepted which means that this difference is also exist in the whole
population the level of creating authenticity and Affordability for bottom of the permanent of
differs in different age groups. The hypothesis H12 and H11 accepted which is the knowledge
deficiency and ending monotony differs according to the Qualification level. Which means that
this difference also exist in the whole population. With the increase in the qualification level the
knowledge about different products also increases so the qualification affects the Knowledge
deficiency. The ending monotony also differs with the change in qualification.
10 Conclusion
This paper sought to the outline the some of the factors which causes for the Buying behavior of
the consumer toward the counterfeit products. The all factors significantly impact the buying
behavior except positive externalities and Affordability of bottom of parament. The hypothesis
for these two variables is rejected due to insignificant results.
11 Implications and Contribution
This research is applicable in all marketing research processes for the branded apparels. This also
helpful for the Brand owners to sustain their sale volume this research explores the new factors
which are not addressed in the literature.
12 Future research
We recommend some other factors which cause for the buying of the counterfeit products which
should be discuss in the study but we cannot include these variables some of the variables which
can be addressed are acceptance level of the counterfeit products in the society, Attractive
Esthetical, idealization, Bargaining Lovers, Show off habits, Fear of Lost Product, Discount on
