Apple Ranked as World's Most Valuable Brand





Interbrand has ranked Apple as the world's most valuable brand for the fourth consecutive year. The company identified the 100 most valuable global brands by analyzing the many ways a brand benefits an organization—from delivering on customer expectations to driving economic value.






The ranking is based on a combination of attributes that contribute to a brand’s cumulative value:

● The financial performance of the branded products and services
● The role the brand plays in influencing customer choice
● The strength the brand has to command a premium price or secure earnings for the company


Top 10 Brands: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung. It also features some of the Top Growing Brands, with Facebook (+48%) as the Top Growing Brand in 2016, followed by Adobe (21%), Huawei (18%), Samsung (14%) and SAP (+13%), and number 2 ranked Google at (+11%). Tech companies are looking without to grow within.
