The 10 Most Valuable Brands In The World In 2024
Let’s take a look at the top 10 most valuable brands in the world in 2024 checking through their brand value. Creating brand value is one of the most difficult tasks for a company. Brand equity is basically the perceived value of the company and its product in the eyes of customers.
A great company may not necessarily have great brand equity. Although the year 2020 – 2021 was devastating to the brand value of many companies, some began to recover during 2021 while some in 2022, some went bankrupt and are no more functional.

Others, despite lowering their brand value, are still among the most valuable companies in the world. Below we list the 10 most valuable companies in the world today.
