According to the Millward Brown 2008 Brandz study of global brands, Google is the most valued brand in the world, worth $86 billion. General Electric is next and is worth $71 billion followed closely by Microsoft and then Coca Cola worth $58 billion. 48 of 100 top brands are of American origin (although some like Anheuser Busch will not be American by next year).
Four companies from China figured on the list, with China Mobile leading at $57 billion followed by ICBC, worth $28 billion. Both China Construction Bank and Bank of China were worth about $19 billion. No Indian company was listed in this year’s rankings by the Optimor unit of WPP’s Millward entity but they expect that ICICI Bank may make next year’s ranking.
