The English consultant Brand Finance has published, as it usually does every year, its ranking Brand Finance Global 500, in which he reveals what are the most valuable brands on the planet according to its financial value.
In the 2023 edition, Amazonwhich since 2019 did not lead the list, has ousted the technology company Manzana. The top 5 complete it Google, Microsoft and Walmartall American companies that occupied exactly the same place in last year’s edition.
The most valuable, according to Brand Finance: Amazon climbs to the top
According to the Brand Finance Global 500 ranking, Amazon 4 years after the last time, it has once again occupied first place as the most valuable brand in the world, despite having registered a fall of the value of its brand of almost 15%, going from the 350,300 million dollars (313,850M€) that it registered last year to the 299,300 million dollars (277,328 M€) this year.
The more than $50 billion drop in the valuation of Jeff Bezos’ company is due in part to the rating drop from AAA+ to AAA, as a consequence of the harshness with which consumers evaluate the company in post-pandemic times.
Research conducted by Brand Finance has revealed that customers recommend Amazon less, because they are unhappy with the company’s customer service and with the lengthening of delivery times. On top of this, with people returning to shopping in person, the need for online retail has slightly decreased.
For its part, the technology company Manzana, whose brand value has decreased by 16% being located in the $297.5 billion (€275,660M), ranks second as the most valuable brand in the world. Last year its value was 355,100 million dollars (318,126.26M€). The loss of value of Steve Jobs’ company has been associated with a drop in expected revenue, as a limitation in the supply of his branded hardware products is expected, as a result of an interruption in the supply chain of goods and a restricted labor market.
