A new survey of the top brands in the world features three automotive brands ranked in the top 100. To determine the rankings, BrandZ used a formula that looks at the brand’s market capitalization and took into consideration the results of a global public survey that measured customer attitudes toward vehicle brands.
The survey included data from 3.8 minion customers and spanned 17,801 brands in 512 categories. The results included 51 markets and 5.3 billion data points.
The top 10 brands in the world read like a list of the usual suspects: Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Visa, Alibaba Group, Tencent, Facebook, McDonalds, and Mastercard. AT&T, Verizon, Coca-Cola, IBM, Marlboro, The Home Depot, SAP, Moutai, Louis Vuitton, and UPS round out the top 20.
