Welcome to Asia's Top 1000 Brands 2017

Start here to explore this exclusive research and analysis about brands in the Asia-Pacific region.

Welcome to Asia’s Top 1000 Brands, the most comprehensive ranking of consumer brands in the region and our most eagerly-anticipated survey each year. There’s plenty here for marketers and consumers alike who want to know who else shares a similar affinity with ‘their’ brands in markets across Asia—and who does not.

Samsung’s long-standing dominance as Asia’s top brand in recent years undergoes special scrutiny this year, after its reputation was rocked by exploding products and a political scandal in Korea that snared its top leadership.

In this special section, we highlight the standout stories from this year’s survey, the biggest winners and losers, the shifts in Asia’s largest consumer markets and we’ll shine the spotlight on new challengers that are rivalling established brands.

We’ve included new categories this year as products and services evolve. We now know what brands Asians value when it comes to sports leagues, online payments, wearable technologies and smart home networks.

The brand battlefield, of course, is constantly changing as digital media provides new ways for brands and consumers to interact with one another, for good or for ill. Brands have never had so much consumer information before, nor have consumers ever had so much brand information available. As a consequence, consumers are demanding more yet are increasingly less likely to stick with one brand.

We’re paying special attention to the question of brand loyalty this year. We asked consumers across Asia to tell us what factors keep them coming back to their favourite brands. Consumer priorities often differ by market and we’ll break down those results.

As some brands take great pains to refine how customers interact with them, we’re also taking a closer look at how user experience is becoming an important factor.

METHODOLOGY

Asia’s Top 1000 Brands aggregates data from an online survey developed by Campaign Asia-Pacific and global information and insights provider Nielsen. The survey was conducted from March 6-17, 2017. The study explores consumer attitudes in 13 markets: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Research relies on a total of 400 respondents in each market, except India and China where participants number 800 and 1,200 respectively. In order to be representative of market populations, survey quotas target age, gender and monthly household income.

The study encompassed 17 major categories (alcohol, financial services, automotive, retail, restaurants, food, beverage, consumer electronics, computer hardware, computer software, digital experience, courier services, ecommerce, media and telecommunications, sports, transportation/travel and leisure, and household and personal care) and 79 sub-categories. Participants gave responses to the following questions:

Question 1: “When you think of the following category, which is the best brand that comes to your mind? By best, we mean the one that you trust the most or the one that has the best reputation in this category.”

Question 2: “Apart from the best brand that you entered, which brand do you consider to be the second best brand in the category?”
