Toyota has emerged as the top automotive brand in the prestigious 2016 Forbes' list of the world's most valuable brands.

The Japanese auto giant is ranked 6th in the overall list, which has 12 auto companies in it's Top 100 but just one in the Top 10. With an overall brand value of $42.1 billion, Toyota topped the automotive brands in the list, with 2nd placed BMW coming in at 14th with a total brand value of $28.8 billion.

Toyota ranked as the sixth highest entry on the overall list, and the most valuable of automakers. BMW comes next in #14, followed by Mercedes-Benz (#20), Honda (23), Ford (35), Audi (36), Chevrolet (59), Lexus (63), Porsche (67), Nissan (70), Hyundai (71), and Volkswagen (77).

That's good news especially for the Toyota and VW groups that between them control nearly half of those brands listed. Japanese and German manufacturers accounted for all but two of those ranked, with Ford, Chevy and Hyundai standing out as notable exceptions.

1. Toyota
2. BMW
3. Mercedes Benz
4. Honda
5. Ford
6. Audi
7. Chevrolet
8. Lexus.
9. Porsche
10. Nissan
11. Hyundai.
12. Volkswagen.

Volkswagen seems to have taken the biggest hit this year, and understandably so! Toyota's achievement is even more commendable because Lexus is also part of the list adding more power to the Toyota group.

Ford is more valuable than Audi? That's interesting for sure.

Again, I'd not put too much into these rankings that are based off brand value, in no way is it a reflection on quality or if the company is even better than the competition. This ranking is merely an indication of demand and popularity, people love the brands in the top 10 list, that's all it indicates.. let me illustrate by example :

- McDonalds with their salty and sugary junk food are at nine, and Subway the health food chain are are number nine-ty-two!

- Samsung a baby in comparison in the world of technology is at 10 while an innovations giant Sony with still better quality today than Samsung is at 73.

- Nike is at 16, I've tried out all sports shoes and I feel Adidas beats it in terms of design, fit, and comfort.. Adidas is at 75.

- Coke is at top 5 while Pepsi is at 30.. both drinks, I gotta be frank here, taste about 2% different.. yet one is 25 spots behind (I prefer Pepsi because its sweeter).

This is just a ranking of the public's absolute favoritism for a dozen of the most publicized, perhaps also first-mover companies that have no doubt worked hard to get where they are and deservedly belong there because as a marketing man I believe nothing sells better than BRAND - equity, provenance or reputation. What this ranking isn't, though, is reflective of quality or substance vis-a-vis competition.

Global business valuation consultancy Brand Finance’s annual report on the world’s most valuable automobile, puts the German car-maker as the world's No. 1 valuable brand, ahead of Japanese car major Toyota.


Mercedes-Benz has overtaken Toyota and BMW to claim pole position as the world’s most valuable automobile brand, following 24% year-on-year growth to US$43.9 billion.

Slipping to second was Toyota (down 6% to US$43.7billion), just ahead of third-ranked BMW (up 6% to US$41.8 billion). Toyota faces a challenging brand landscape, largely due to a weaker position in China as consumers in that market have shied away from the Japanese manufacturer and in favour of more aspirational brands, such as Mercedes-Benz.

Tesla (up 106% to US$5.7 billion) has also recorded extremely strong brand value growth over the last year, rising from 30th to 19th place amongst automobile brands globally.

Outside the top 10, a number of Chinese brands are enjoying remarkable brand value growth while focusing on the Chinese domestic market, which is now the world’s largest.

Again it is SUV's:

As manufacturers are producing a whole range of new environmentally-friendly models,sales of larger sports utility vehicles (SUVs) have generated a spike in revenues for many brands, leading to SUVs now representing 34% of all new car sales to almost 28 million units globally. This includes Mercedes-Benz (805,000 SUVs sold globally in 2017 across several models) and Nissan (which sold over 810,000 X-Trail model cars alone).
The high-end SUV market is booming with a number of new product launches by luxury brands last year, including the Audi Q5 and Alfa Romeo Stelvio.

Most valuable group portfolio:

Volkswagen Group continued its pole position in the most valuable portfolios, followed by Daimler and Toyota.

Volkswagen Group, which owns the world’s largest automobile brand portfolio valued at US$75.8 billion, is able to leverage synergies across Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group is particularly looking to improve the relationship across its family of brands as part of its medium-term TOGETHER – Strategy 2025 plans.

Tyres - Top 5

Michelin has become the world’s most valuable tyre brand following 30% brand value growth to US$7.9 billion over the last year. It overtook Bridgestone (down 6% to US$7.0 billion), which slipped from first to second
place .

I always thought brand valuation was more of an art than science. Because Kingfisher pledged their 'brand' as collateral and got Rs. 3,000 Cr loan sanctioned. But this report is way too precise with numbers (Eg: Brand X value up 6% in 2018 vs 2017). Is brand valuation taught in B-schools?

Definitely not a science, but certainly not an art either. Whichever method they use, it always assumes a couple of things. But definitely an Industry with some very clever people getting paid a lot of money to come up with a number that is based on assumptions and guesses.

Have a look:

http://www.brandvaluation.co.uk/Bran...ethods~14.html

And then the killer:

It is generally best to value brands using all appropriate brand valuation methods and synthesise the results to arrive at a conclusion

Which means the result comes from multiple questionable assumptions all cobbled together!

Of course, when you are crunching numbers, with or without assumptions and synthesising them, our comes a number. That number could be noted in whatever many digits before and or after the Komma. That doesn’t make it an accurate number. Just because the outcome of something is noted as 11.657% does not say anything about the accuracy of the number itself.

What would probably be fair to say is that the ranking is roughly accurate as the same method was used for all. Unless the individual end results are to comparable and you run into the problem of the accuracy of the numbers.

Even so, brand value is a very important parameter, whether it’s for stock value, commissions, tax purposes. Even when you are selling your one-man company the brand value will come into play.
