A house burns down due to a counterfeit electrical transformer, causing loss of lives and property: severe poisoning and cancer from fake products. Counterfeits repel consumers and investors. Counterfeit goods threaten health, safety, and market trust, putting the economy at risk. Globally, counterfeit sales are estimated at $1.7 to $4.5 trillion annually, with 5% of all goods in the EU being fake. Despite stringent efforts, counterfeits still infiltrate the market, costing Saudi Arabia 40 billion SAR in 2012 alone. Saudi Arabia aims for the lowest infiltration rate globally and welcomes solutions to reduce this threat. Raqeeb provides an advanced AI-powered inventory and tracking system to protect the Saudi market from counterfeit goods, ensuring consumer and investor confidence. Raqeeb logs every product's quantity and code, tracing them from entry into the market until they reach the consumer. It continuously monitors all products with AI, analyzing data to detect abnormal patterns seamlessly. If an unauthorized product attempts to enter the market, Raqeeb flags it and identifies the location for inspection and questioning. This ensures only authentic products reach consumers, enhancing market integrity and trust. Raqeeb offers significant benefits to multiple stakeholders: 1. Economy: Raqeeb boosts investor confidence, attracting local and international investments by ensuring product rights protection in the Saudi market. 2. Government: Raqeeb provides powerful market control, enhancing government monitoring capabilities to the highest performance levels. 3. Producers and Traders: Raqeeb safeguards against substantial losses by protecting them from counterfeit goods. 4. Consumers: Raqeeb ensures consumers can trust the authenticity of their purchases, enhancing overall market confidence. Now, let us talk about the immense potential for investment in Raqeeb. First. The Market Size Raqeeb's revenue model is tied to the expansive retail market in Saudi Arabia. The retail market was valued at SAR 581.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow by 4% annually. Second. The target sectors The Total Addressable Market, or TAM, is the entire Saudi retail market, estimated at SAR 600 billion. The Serviceable Available Market, or SAM, focuses on Riyadh and the Eastern provinces, valued at SAR 400 billion. The Serviceable Obtainable Market, or SOM, targets Riyadh alone, estimated at no less than SAR 200 billion. Third. The revenue model "Our revenue model focuses on transaction fees. We charge businesses a percentage of each verified transaction. This ensures that as market activity increases, so does our revenue, creating a scalable and sustainable business model." What about the competitors? Currently, no private companies oversee market regulation. Existing systems include traditional regulatory methods, which are comprehensive but costly and inefficient, and Rasad by the Saudi FDA, which is limited to medicines and cosmetics. Raqeeb is not competing with Rasad but is supported by it, validating our concept and increasing the likelihood of adoption by the Ministry of Commerce. Raqeeb will be the first private company to provide market oversight, offering a more cost-effective, user-friendly solution that covers all market activities, ensures a reliable marketplace, and generates revenue for the government.
