Felix Hartmann, founder of venture capital firm Hartmann Capital, said most counterfeit products are likely to continue their downward trend until the end of January 2025. "Some counterfeit products may continue to rise briefly, but most counterfeit products may slowly decline or consolidate for 2-6 weeks," Hartmann said in an X post on December 10. "[In my opinion] there is not much opportunity to chase counterfeit products here, as many counterfeit products peak after 2-3 fluctuations in a week."
