Protect luxury auto brands from counterfeit parts and revenue loss
Counterfeit spare parts slip into the aftermarket, eroding OEM sales and inflating warranty claims. The risk is amplified by fragmented service networks and online DIY channels.
We model up to $216M in annual loss for a typical luxury auto brand.
Counterfeit components enter the market through authorized dealers, independent garages and online DIY channels, each with different penetration rates. The resulting revenue displacement, warranty exposure and brand damage compound to a total estimated loss of $216 million per year for a typical luxury auto brand. High-value parts, long vehicle lifecycles and premium brand expectations make the impact especially severe. Eonpass aggregates data across service visits, parts pricing and counterfeit discount factors to quantify the full financial exposure.
Why is the luxury automotive sector uniquely vulnerable?
Because luxury vehicles command high-priced OEM parts and owners expect flawless performance, any counterfeit intrusion quickly translates into large revenue gaps and brand trust erosion.
How does Eonpass address this vertical with its three pillars?
Eonpass combines a connection graph, IP case management and enriched OSINT data to map counterfeit supply chains, prioritize high-risk dealers and automate warranty claim analysis for luxury auto brands.
What does an investigation look like for counterfeit parts?
An investigation starts with data ingestion from service logs, then the connection graph reveals suspect parts suppliers, followed by case management tools that coordinate legal and remediation actions across the network.
See the impact model on your numbers
We maintain a quantitative model behind these headline figures. It accounts for parallel-trade economics, channel mix, brand damage, and (where relevant) patient-safety exposure. The most useful way to use it is together: brand-protection, legal, and finance teams tune the assumptions for your portfolio, and we walk through what changes. The conversation usually takes 30 minutes and produces a one-page summary you can take to a board or budget review.
