Producing statistical estimates of the scale of illicit trade is as necessary as it is challenging.

Reliable, accurate estimates of the scale of illicit trade reduce uncertainty and help authorities, businesses across different industries and consumers make better-informed decisions. They also strengthen strategies against illicit trade by supporting better-grounded strategic content, raising awareness among different audiences and the public, and sharing valuable information with authorities to support their efforts to address the problem.


Illicit Trade Research, Monitoring and Analysis Centre (CIMA)


Through CIMA, Strategos BIP has simplified the collection, consolidation and analysis of estimates for different illicit markets. These estimates are developed both by external organizations—academia, industry and government—and by our own firm.
