Apple has topped Interbrand's list of the Best Global Brands for the ninth year in a row.

Apple #1 (US$408,251m) once again takes the top spot in the table, followed by Amazon #2 (US$249,249m). Having overtaken Google in 2020, Microsoft #3 (US$210,191m) has preserved its place in the top three. The top three brands account for a third (33%) of the total table value this year.

Rounding out the top ten is Google #4 (US$196,811m), Samsung #5 (US$74,635m), Coca-Cola #6 (US$57,488m), Toyota #7 (US$54,107m), Mercedes-Benz #8 (US$50,866m), McDonald's #9 (US$45,865m) and Disney #10 (US$44,183m).


The top 100 brands are now valued at US$2.67 billion – up 15% from 2020 – the highest ever growth rate in the 22-year history of Interbrand's Best Global Brands. Tesla was the fastest growing brand with a 184% increase in brand value moving it up 26 places to #14.

"Direction, Agility and Participation are three key themes we've seen driving brand growth over the past year. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the constantly evolving business landscape, employee buy-in, adapting to change and a strong customer base have helped certain brands to thrive," commented Charles Trevail, Global CEO, Interbrand. "It's worth calling out Tesla's growth over the past year - a three-figure increase in brand value is unprecedented in the past 22 years of Best Global Brands. Tesla is a brand that epitomises the importance of brand Direction, Agility and Participation, so I'm unsurprised Tesla made the biggest leap up the Best Global Brands ranking in 2021."
