Google overtakes Apple as world's top brand: survey
U.S. search engine Google has overtaken rival technology titan Apple as the world’s top brand in terms of value, global market research agency Millward Brown said Wednesday.
Google’s brand value shot up 40 percent in a year to $158.84 billion, Millward Brown said in its 2014 100 Top BrandZ report.
Google Glass is Internet-linked eyewear for which the firm has joined hands with Luxottica, a frame giant behind Ray-Ban and other high-end brands, to sell the new product in the United States.
Apple, which dominated the top position for three straight years, saw its brand value fall by 20% to $147.88 billion.
The top 10 of the 100 slots were dominated by U.S. firms. IBM was in third place at $107.54 billion, a fall of 4%, followed by Microsoft at $90.19 billion 29% rise.
Fast food chain McDonald’s ranked next at $85.71 billion, followed by Coca Cola ($80.68 billion), it said.
China led in the insurance sector with Ping An valued at $12.4 billion and China Life ($12 billion).
French luxury goods manufacturer Louis Vuitton ranked 30th overall but was the top luxury brand with a value of more than $25 billion.
Brand value is calculated on the basis of the firms’ financial performance and their standing among consumers.
Twitter and LinkedIn entered the Top 100 for the first time, at numbers 71 and 78, respectively. Amazon entered the Top 10 at number 10, the first retailer to achieve this distinction
