The first place in the ranking of the top 100 most expensive brands in the world is taken Apple Corporation, which brand value for the year rose by 26% to $ 408.3 billion. Second and third place are taken by Amazon (up 24% to $ 249.3 billion) and Microsoft (27% to $ 210.2 billion). The first three places account for 33% of the value of all brands on the ranking.
The total value of the top 100 brands on the list rose 15% year-over-year to $2.3 trillion, up just 9% last year. On average, the value of the ranked brands grew 10% over 2021 - an average increase of just 1.3% in 2020.
Of all sectors, technology companies showed the most significant growth, with a 26% increase in value. Electric car maker Tesla was the fastest growing brand this year, climbing from 40th to 14th place with a 184% jump in value to $36.3 billion. Significantly improving their position in the ranking were cloud business systems developer Salesforce, which moved from 58th place to 38th (brand value increased by 37% to $14.8 billion), and payment system PayPal, which moved from 60th position to 42nd (an increase of 36% to $14.3 billion). Other technology companies and electronics manufacturers also added markedly, with Adobe up 36%, Nintendo up 26%, Zoom up 24%, Instagram up 23%, LinkedIn up 22%, YouTube up 21%, Samsung and Sony up 20%, Google and Netflix up 19%.
Sports goods manufacturer Nike (up 24%), constructor manufacturer Lego (up 21%), and luxury clothing brands Hermes and Prada (up 20%) all saw significant value increases.
The most significant reductions in brand value were seen in camera, office and optical equipment manufacturer Canon (down 14%), clothing retailer Zara and food manufacturer Kellogg`s (both down 9%).
The only newcomer to this year's ranking was cosmetics company Sephora, valued at $4.6 billion. Now the LVMH Group, which includes Sephora, owns five brands in the ranking, which is a record. In addition to Sephora, these are Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany and Hennessy.
