Chinese Brand Value Evaluation Standards condense the efforts of many experts and scholars from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Policy Research Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Development Research Center of the State Council, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, National Bureau of Statistics, State Taxation Administration, People’s Bank of China, Beijing Normal University, Communication University of China, Central Institute of Cultural Management and other units and undergo rigorous review to make The World Brand Value Top 900 ranking list that can stand the test.

The total brand value of “(Daguan · Keweiwei) The 9th China Brand Value Top 100” and “(Daguan · Keweiwei) The World Brand Value Top 900” was CNY 111,992.929 billion, and the average brand value was CNY 124.437 billion, an increase of 1.84% over the previous edition of The World Brand Value Top 900 ranking list, which shows that after the end of the pandemic, the global economy is gradually recovering, and the brand value of enterprises is increasing slightly. In “(Daguan · Keweiwei) The 9th China Brand Value Top 100” and “(Daguan · Keweiwei) The World Brand Value Top 900” ranking lists, enterprises from a total of 43 countries and regions are on the lists, and the order of the number of enterprises on the list is as follows: 296 in the United States, 162 in China (including 125 in Chinese mainland, 19 in Hong Kong China and 18 in Taiwan China), 81 in Japan, 38 in France, 38 in the United Kingdom, 33 in Canada, 31 in India, 31 in Germany, 25 in Korea, 19 in Switzerland, 15 in Australia, 13 in Netherlands, 12 in Sweden, 10 in Italy, 8 in Spain, 7 in Russia, 7 in Brazil, 7 in Ireland, 7 in Finland, 6 in Singapore, 6 in Saudi Arabia, 5 in Denmark, 5 in South Africa, 4 in U.A.E., 4 in Belgium, 3 in Austria, 3 in Norway, 3 in Turkey, 3 in Indonesia, 2 in Qatar, 2 in Mexico, 2 in Thailand, 2 in the Philippines, and 1 each in Luxembourg, Colombia, Czech Republic, Poland, Bermuda, Peru, Viet Nam, Portugal and Malaysia.

Many experts and business representatives from academia, business and media conducted an objective and fair review of the ranking lists and put forward professional and constructive opinions. At the same time, we insist that every edition of ranking lists is entrusted to an evaluation agency officially filed with the Ministry of Finance to conduct a professional evaluation to ensure the authority and accuracy of the data.

Professor Yan Zhijie, former dean of the School of Economics of Peking University and a well-known economist, emphasized that in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have made significant progress, Chinese brands are gradually developing, and at the same time facing huge difficulties and challenges. The realization of modernization is inseparable from the development of the private economy, and the rise and fall of countless enterprises have also created a new image of Chinese brands on the international stage. At the same time, he called on enterprises to continuously improve their ability to resist risks and core competitiveness, pay attention to social responsibility and sustainable development, and establish a good corporate image.

Yan Yu, Executive Dean of the Southwest Branch of the School of Economics of Peking University, Director of the Strategic Cooperation Office of the School of Economics of Peking University, Researcher of the Institute of Social and Economic History of Peking University, and scholar of comparative world civilizations, mentioned: brand is the concentrated expression of technology and cultural additions, and is an important resource to participate in global competition. In today’s world, China’s development strategy opportunities and risks and challenges coexist. It is of great strategic significance to put brand building in an important position and promote brand value to gradually become the core indicator to measure the soft power of enterprises.

The United States still maintains a leading position in the number of countries and regions on the ranking lists, and China and Japan are the second and third places respectively on the ranking lists. On the whole, the economic operation is in a stable and improving direction, which is beneficial to the operation of enterprises.

“Malaysia is poised to become a leader in the digital landscape within ASEAN, and the launch of the new AWS Region plays a critical role in that journey,” said Mark Goh, CEO and Co-founder of G-AsiaPacific. “By providing businesses such as retail and manufacturing, logistics, automotive, healthcare with access to the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud while meeting data residency preferences, we are facilitating faster and more efficient adoption of cloud technologies across industries.

This is just one example of how businesses can benefit from the local presence of AWS infrastructure, enabling faster data processing and cost-effective scalability.

TF Value Mart, one of the largest retail chains in Malaysia, managed to save 35 percent on infrastructure costs by migrating to AWS in 2018 under G-AsiaPacific’s recommendation. They have implemented enterprise resource planning (ERP), backup and disaster recovery solutions to achieve high availability and stability that offers seamless operations and business continuity.

“Last year, 40% of our top clients were mainland Chinese tech companies seeking support across Southeast Asia and globally; therefore, we logically seized the initiative to set up a new branch in Shenzhen to closely serve our new clients and partners in their strategic expansion,” says Albin Lix, Founder and CEO of Digital Business Lab.

The agency has successfully run campaigns in over 13 Asian countries, serving over 200 brands from the technology, finance, luxury, food & beverage industries and beyond. This includes supporting brands like Alibaba, DreameTech, and Ant Financial in building their presence across different Asian cultures and regions and assisting Chinese companies like DreameTech and Ant Group expand their global reach.

The office will further allow Digital Business Lab to immerse itself in the Greater Bay Area’s tech culture and social media ecosystem, offering clients enhanced opportunities for collaboration and growth.

Albin Lix added, “In the first half of 2024, we leveraged platforms like Xiaohongshu to drive engagement for major events such as the AIA Carnival and Hong Kong Rugby Sevens, capturing fresh interest from mainland Chinese audiences. With our new presence in Shenzhen, we are poised to continue aligning marketing strategies with business objectives, helping clients across the APAC region shorten their conversion funnels and achieve tangible results.”

As Digital Business Lab expands, this growth reflects geographical expansion and the agency’s ongoing commitment to helping clients shorten their conversion funnels by aligning social media strategies with business goals across the APAC region.
