Earlier, buyers preferred to buy familiar and well-established brands. Now, however, young people are increasingly trying something new. Therefore, it is more and more difficult for companies to sell their goods and services.
Nevertheless, the top 100 largest brands in the world still control most of the market, and their value for the year increased by 3% to $ 3.4 trillion according to the new BrandZ rating, compiled by the research agency Millward Brown for the Financial Times.
Over the past 10 years, the value of the top 100 brands more than doubled, reaching 133%.
The brand value is calculated on the basis of financial parameters such as revenues and profitability, and also studies are made of how consumers perceive brands.
In recent years, there has been an interesting trend. As digital technologies develop, IT companies are increasingly replacing companies operating in other sectors from the rating.
This year, top-5 brands at the top of the rating are IT companies: Google ($ 229 billion), Apple ($ 228 billion), Microsoft ($ 122 billion) and Facebook ($ 103 billion).
Coca-Cola left the top 10 of the rating for the first time. The brand’s cost decreased by 4% as a result of the global fight against drinks with high sugar content.
Nevertheless, the cost of the Coca-Cola brand over the past ten years has almost doubled from $ 41 billion in 2006 to $ 80 billion in 2016, which was the result of increased sales and profits of the company.
Other companies that followed this example include Marlboro, McDonald's and Louis Vuitton. They lost their position in the rating over the last decade, but still occupy a significant market share, and their brand value is much higher than 10 years ago.
In total, 54 brands that were in the top 100 BrandZ rating ten years ago, still remain in it, but the remaining 46 have been replaced by newcomers.
Below are the top 5 brands according to the ranking.
