Aramco, one of the world\u2019s largest integrated energy and chemicals companies is the highest newcomer in the Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands 2022 ranking with a value of more than $99 billion. Following its IPO in 2019, Aramco instantly became one of the world\u2019s largest publicly traded companies by market capitalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple sits on top of the Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands 2022 ranking and is on track to become the first trillion-dollar brand. With a brand value of $947.1bn, Apple stands out for its high degree of differentiation and continued diversification across its hardware, software and services portfolio. Google moves up to second place and is one of the fastest risers in the ranking, increasing its brand value by 79% to $819.6bn. Google\u2019s suite of work and productivity apps have made it an essential part of consumers\u2019 lives worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combined value of the world\u2019s Top 100 most valuable brands has increased by 23%to $8.7 trillion over the past year, highlighting the importance of brand strength in navigating an unsettled global economy<\/em>. This year, brands needed to exceed a total brand valuation of $21,219 million to earn the title of one of the world\u2019s biggest brands – a threshold that\u2019s increased more than fourfold since the list\u2019s debut in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-seven brands improved their ranking this year. In 2022, over three quarters of brand value originated from US companies. Media & Entertainment, Business Solutions & Technology Providers and Retail categories account for over half of the total value of the Top 100 ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is very much in line with their exciting ambition to further drive their global presence by pioneering innovative technologies that will positively impact people and the communities they live in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe are excited to see the first brand born in the region enter the top 20 Most Valuable Brands.This year\u2019s Kantar BrandZ global ranking continues to reinforce our belief that strong brands create tremendous value, even in uncertain times. The top 100 brands added another 1.3 trillion dollars of brand value this year, that\u2019s greater than the combined GDP of Saudi Arabia and UAE! We have seen the strongest growth in consumer tech and luxury brands, as these highly meaningful and strongly differentiated brands gained momentum. We are also seeing that brands growing in value are creating more connections, whether it\u2019s by connecting to more people by amplifying their meaningful difference and reaching to greater audiences; or by connecting to new markets and categories and driving conversations around broader issues impacting the people,\u201d comments Amol Ghate, Managing Director, Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan, for Kantar\u2019s Insights Division<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sector leaders come from a mix of industry sectors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Technology and Luxury brands grew the fastest;46% for Consumer Technology and 45% for Luxury.Bank and Automotive brands also demonstrated impressive growth; Automotive by34% and Banks by +30%. This compares to growth across sectors such as Apparel (20%) and Personal Care (17%).At a category level, Wells Fargo was the only new No.1 brand, moving from second to first place in the Bankingcategory and replacing China\u2019s ICBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    *In Retail, the value of Amazon includes its retail businesses only; For Media & Entertainment, Google includes Google branded services and products, excluding Google Cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201c’Strong brand affinity underpinsa customer\u2019s willingness to pay and has never been more important for organisations looking to offset spiking inflation,\u201d explains Martin Guerrieria, Head of <\/strong>Kantar BrandZ<\/strong>. <\/strong>\u201cThis year\u2019s results show us the value of continued investment in brand and marketing capabilities, as a means of maximising business returns, irrespective of market conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Focus on brand-building, product and market diversification maximises business returns:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • The pandemic has further accelerated growth of e-commerce in the retail category, hence brands with stronger connections to consumers were able to sustain their growth online and beyond.<\/li>
    • Portfolio brands that continue to innovate and diversify their offer continue to grow, especially evident with Apple, Google and Amazon,amongst others, as their services cross technology, entertainment and payment services. Brands reliant on one category or market have the greatest risk profile, whereas brands that have diversified into multiple categories and markets showed faster brand value growth in 2022 and have a better chance of above-average growth.<\/li>
    • To navigate a disruptive market, brands must lock down trust as a means of driving stability and safety. More than in the past, brands today must build trust on the basis of societal performance, not just product performance. Sometimes, this means a social purpose that is integrated into the entire organisation. Nike is a good example with its ongoing commitment to inspire and innovate for everyone, not just high-performance athletes, particularly girls and minority communities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cKantar BrandZ\u2019s2022 global report,the 17th<\/sup>edition,uncovers the importance of brand-building to help survive market disruption, continuesGuerrieria. Brands are typically the biggest assets businesses have, adding massive value to the balance sheet. In uncertain times, management decisions on marketing investment can be supported by proven metrics. Kantar BrandZ\u2019s brand valuations clearly show how great marketing connects to brand value in both the short and long-term.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
