GREYSCOUT RESEARCH
The Grey Market Risk Report.
US Marketplace Update
Q2 2026
The risk didn’t unwind between quarters, it rotated. Ten of 20 Amazon US categories close Q2 2026 at CRITICAL risk, the highest count in this series, as six new categories cross the threshold and two step back. The Grey Market Risk Report ranks every major Amazon US category by grey market exposure, identifies the 15 highest-risk subcategories, and translates the findings into actions for brand, eCommerce, and legal teams.
“GreyScout gives us a proactive solution across eCommerce marketplaces like Amazon. It gives our team great peace of mind knowing that we can now control and protect our brand & customers on these channels.”
Chris Hähnel
CEO
“Our primary motivation for implementing this solution was to protect brand partners by shutting down infringing sellers and listings, however we also benefited from a massive reduction in overall time spent by our team manually tracking and submitting takedowns.”
Bobby Dickensheets
Director of IP & Legal
“GreyScout allowed us to get a serious handle on parallel trading challenges in multiple markets globally. We saw sustainable success within 2 weeks convincing us to deploy phase 2 earlier than planned – more channels & upgrades such as In-app Test Purchase.”
Christophe Bernigaud
Global Vice President – Amazon
“GreyScout Brand Protection helped us immensely in tackling the issue of unauthorized 3P sellers on Amazon. GreyScout’s detection, verification, and enforcement process has helped streamline our brand protection efforts and reduce the number of infringing sellers at scale. Additionally, they’ve been active in collecting feedback and optimizing their processes to better serve our business. I look forward to growing our partnership as we expand into new international markets.”
Andrew Lizotte
E-commerce Sales Manager
“GreyScout has proven to be a crucial ally in our brand protection efforts. The outcomes achieved in under three months have been remarkable. First Party Revenue on the channel has improved exponentially since using GreyScout. By identifying the leaky supply chain at source, GreyScout facilitated a decrease in unauthorized third-party activity and enhanced our Buy Box presence.”
