Economy Business
At the 19th China Brand Festival, held in Shenzhen from 7–11 August 2025, the TopBrand Union released its “Top 500 Global Brands List 2025.” Microsoft emerged as the highest-valued brand at USD 1.062 trillion, followed by NVIDIA and Apple, highlighting the ongoing global dominance of U.S. tech giants.
- China’s premier branding event, themed “AI and Global Expansion,” brought over 10,000 entrepreneurs, brand leaders, and policymakers to Shenzhen. The festival featured brand expos, forums, and interactive sessions, culminating in the unveiling of the year’s most influential global brands.
- The recently released rankings reveal that Microsoft leads with a brand valuation of USD 1,062.505 billion, while NVIDIA closely follows at USD 1,046.760 billion, and Apple ranks third with USD 997.685 billion. These numbers reflect their pivotal roles in AI, semiconductor propulsion, and consumer ecosystems.
Main Point :- (i) Beyond tech, the list underscores evolving global dynamics. Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Saudi Aramco, Walmart, Meta (Facebook), Berkshire Hathaway, and Broadcom fill ranks four through ten, showcasing a mix of tech, retail, energy, and investment powerhouses.
(ii) Despite China having 130 companies in the Fortune Global 500 (2025) list—only eight fewer than the U.S.—its representation in the TopBrand rankings is less than half. Dr. Wang Yong, Chairman of the TopBrand Union and President of the festival, remarked this gap underscores the urgent need for Chinese firms to build stronger global brand influence.
