The most expensive brands in the world are manufacturers of hardware, software, entertainment, clothing - the list turns out to be quite extensive. What is the principle of selection to the "powerful of this world"?

Ways to determine brand value

There is no single method for evaluating a brand. There are several popular approaches to creating an impression of a brand's high value:

  1. Summation of all costs. The starting point will be the beginning of the brand creation. Everything is added up - from advertising costs to the salaries of all employees.
  2. To find out the market value of a brand, such an arithmetic example is enough: multiply the number of shares issued by a brand by their current market value. The main disadvantage is the constantly changing market price (this leads to a fall or, conversely, an overvaluation of the asset).
  3. The analysis of income occurs when assessing the future net income of the brand - this is how the value of the brand is determined at the moment.
  4. All this economic research remains behind the scenes - the public is guided by Forbes' opinion. It maintains its own rating: in addition to the above points, it also takes into account the profitability of the brand, advertising spending, and the impact on other areas.

How brands differ from each other

Potential competitors

Many world-famous companies dream of ousting leaders from today's pedestals:

  1. In the high-tech field, such applications come from Samsung and HP.
  2. Car brands BMW and Mercedes-Benz are also focused on sales to all countries of the world and finding new customers. Honda is a little behind them.
  3. A special demand for Gillette products has formed in the rapidly developing countries of the world.
  4. Expensive and high-quality accessories are an indispensable sign of prestige. We are talking about Rolex with its 110-year history of watchmaking.
  5. A separate word for companies dictating a fashionable verdict (Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Chanel, Armani, Dior). Clothing and accessories of these brands are preferred by trendsetters from the world of show business and politics.
  6. The main sports brand is Nike.
  7. The leader in the production of lingerie is Victoria's secret, which also popularizes the line for sports.

The world is ruled by brands - today it is difficult to argue with this axiom. Many of the brands have already entered the financial Olympus, others are only striving for this. It all depends on what choice the consumer makes.

The modern war of brands hardly surprises anyone. Huge companies are tirelessly fighting for a place in the sun, constantly improving their products and innovating the manufacturing process. Replenishing popular brands in the world and earning a place in the ranking is not so easy. Unfortunately, domestic companies have not yet succeeded in this. This article will discuss those well-known world brands that occupy leading positions in various ratings.

Cars

What are the most of the world in this category? The first places in the lists are occupied by such car brands as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota. These three companies always go together, periodically changing places and taking the last places in the top ten (but this is by no means a bad thing!). The main directions of their development: targeting sales to all countries of the world, advertising, searching for new categories of customers. A little further from the main positions in the ranking is the Honda brand, which has recently focused on retaining old customers, rather than finding new ones. But the leader of the world's automotive brands is GE, which is not very well known in the post-Soviet markets. She won the victory after she decided to provide her cars with software and connect them to the Internet. The move was risky, although completely successful. For which the company made its way closer to the first places in the ratings.

Computers

The world's brands are successfully replenished by companies that produce software for computers. So, in the rating there is necessarily Intel - a company that is successfully developing and pleases consumers with a good filling of their "workhorses". Microsoft has consistently taken the lead in the ranking, regardless of who exactly was or is its CEO. Timely response to all innovations, full support of the world of computer fashion is all that is needed in order not to leave the tops and to be at the forefront. And unexpectedly bypassed the most famous brands in the world Google thanks to the Google Glass program.

Technics

The best brands in the world in the "technology" section, as always, are replenished by Apple. She consistently occupies a leading position, fully satisfying the desires and needs of her customers. Samsung is also trying to keep up with her. The company took a huge step forward after re-focusing on Apple, focusing on the interconnectedness of its products. Computer fashion is represented by HP, which also occupies a leading position.

For children

The most famous and always ranked first brand is Disney. He is always in the center of events, finding more and more new opportunities to win the attention of people. By the way, the products of this company are aimed not only at children (although, to tell the truth, mainly at them), but also at adults who are ready to have fun for a certain amount of time. In addition to entertainment centers, toys and cartoons, this company creates various show programs and video games.

Nutrition

The list of the most expensive brands in the world is often topped by the Coca-Cola company. She is always at the peak among the winners, from time to time changing her places. This happened, for example, in 2013, when after thirteen years of leadership, the company gave way to other worthy brands. However, at the same time, Coca-Cola received another prestigious award, becoming the most creative player in the market this year. As for food, McDonald’s is adding to the rating of brands - a company that is ready to feed everyone in the world. She took a huge step forward after she decided on various new dishes, introducing into her menu the peculiarities of the cuisine of those countries where her restaurants are located.

Household items

Gillette replenishes the brands of the world, always being in the top twenty. The company's products are targeted not only at men, but also at women. The fast-growing countries of the world, where this brand is particularly successful, are in particular demand for products. This, for example, applies to India, as well as the countries of the post-Soviet space.

Accessories

And, of course, how can you do without the fashion world? There are well-known brands of the world in this section of goods. For example, the leading position in the world of accessories is occupied by the Swiss company Rolex, which has been producing watches for almost 110 years. Their products are not cheap, but they differ in quality. And this accessory is an integral part of every successful and self-respecting person. This list must include Louis Vuitton - the only company that occupies a leading position in the world of fashion in world rankings. She specializes in the production of primarily bags and suitcases, as well as other accessories and clothing. The most expensive brands in the world are also headed by Prada. Her story began in a small leather goods store in Italy. However, thanks to the hard work and desire of workers, today it is a well-known brand that is recognized all over the world. The company specializes in leather goods, it produces bags, hats, clothes, shoes and many different accessories. Close to her in nature is the Gucci company, which became famous in the 60s of the last century. She now produces leather accessories, clothing, as well as jewelry and perfume. The ratings also include the French company Hermes, which produces original bags and scarves. Interesting for many will be the fact that initially the company specialized in the manufacture of harnesses and as evidenced by its logo.

clothing

This section is a must for those people who closely follow the world of fashion. So, who are the top brands in the fashion world? This is Chanel. Quite a long time ago, petite, but very charismatic Coco made a huge leap in the world of women's fashion, forcing the ladies to abandon uncomfortable prim dresses in exchange for stylish and practical men's trousers. Since that time, this company has not lost its position and today is in the top ratings. Armani is preferred by many celebrities from the show business world. In addition, this brand is also available for young people who want to always remain fashionable. Targeting all age categories - this is the strong point of this Well, how can you bypass the well-known brand Dior, which became known to the public at the very beginning of the last century? This is not only great clothes, but also exclusive fragrances, high-quality decorative cosmetics - everything that a modern person may need to always remain fashionable. The H&M brand, well-known in Europe, but gradually gaining positions in the vastness of the former Soviet Union, is also affordable at its prices. These are clothes for all tastes that will suit many people in style. In addition, it is very affordable at its prices. Thanks to this, you can always stay at the height of fashion and be a stylish person. Comfortable and practical clothing in a sporty style is offered by Nike, which has occupied a dominant position in the sales market for quite a long time. Urban style clothes are offered by the well-known company Calvin Klein, whose products are loved by many people in different countries of the world. And the brand of sexuality and femininity is, of course, Victoria's secret, which mainly produces lingerie, but does not stop there. And for lovers of brightness and originality, there is such a brand as Dolce & Gabbana. Their clothes always keep up with new fashion trends, differs in a wide range of colors and various prints, which is very popular not only among young people, but also by all courageous people.

According to wikipedia, a brand is a brand name or trademark that has a high reputation among consumers.

Note that the concept of a brand is slightly narrower than that of a company. Consequently, one company can own several brands. For example Google is a brand and Alphabet is a company.

In this article, we have collected exactly the most expensive brands in the world. Actual information on January 20, 2020.

How is brand value determined?

There are various ways to measure brand value, with many controversial. Everyone understands the concept of value in his own way, so the assessment is usually subjective.

Popular methods and approaches for assessing brand value:

The sum of all costs. A brand is valued based on the sum of all costs that have been incurred to build the brand since its inception. This can be advertising costs, asset purchases, employee salaries, etc. We index the resulting amount and get the real brand value.

Please note that the value received will only reflect the costs of creating the brand, not the fact that the owners will agree to sell it at that value.

Market value. The easiest method to count. We simply multiply the number of shares issued by their current market value. By the way, we have and.

The disadvantage of this method is that the market price changes very dynamically and in times of crisis the brand value falls noticeably. Or vice versa, there may be a revaluation of the asset by investors.

Based on income. Estimates of future net income, which are directly attributed to the brand, to determine its current value.

The methods described above generate approximate data, therefore, this article uses information about the cost according to the Forbes Internet publication.
