The brand composition of the BrandZ<br />
Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands has<br />
remained substantially consistent since the<br />
ranking launched in 2006. This result reflects<br />
the remarkable stability of high-value brands.<br />
Over the past decade, 42 brands entered or dropped out<br />
of the ranking, an average of only four or five brands per<br />
year. China and other fast-growing markets drove most<br />
of that change.<br />
The consistency of the BrandZ Global Top 100 brands<br />
is evident in the 13 product categories covered in the<br />
report. With one exception, at least half of the brands<br />
that comprised the original Top 10 in each category are<br />
present today. In four categories – beer, cars, fast food<br />
and personal care – seven of the original Top 10 remain.<br />
The most stable categories are those where capital<br />
investment creates the highest barriers to entry. In both<br />
oil and gas, and telecom providers, eight of the Top 10<br />
brands have not changed.<br />
More brands changed in categories that experienced<br />
extreme disruption, like retail, where only five of the<br />
original 2006 Top 10 brands remain. E-commerce<br />
provided easier access to the category, which attracted<br />
younger, more innovative brands. Only four of the<br />
original brands remain in insurance because of market<br />
disruption and the addition of high-value Chinese<br />
insurance brands in 2011.<br />
As competition heats up across categories in the next<br />
ten years, reaching and remaining in the Global Top 100<br />
will become even more difficult. Growing sustainable<br />
Brand Value will more than ever require cultivating<br />
meaningful difference and then communicating<br />
effectively to make the difference Salient in the mind<br />
of the consumer.<br />
