Allianz tops Visa, Netflix in list of high-value global brands

14 November 2022

Allianz and Axa have retained placements in Interbrand’s latest global brand rankings, which lists the top 100 most valuable brands.

Allianz held 34th place, with a valuation of $US18.69 billion ($28.28 billion) – one spot above Hyundai and ahead of nearby-ranked Visa, PayPal, Sony and Netflix.

Allianz was the 11th-fastest growing high-value brand, shooting up 23% – outpacing the brands of Mastercard, Louis Vuitton, Siemens and Prada.

“Allianz is the world’s number one insurer in Interbrand’s Best Global Brands Ranking for the fourth year running,” Allianz Trade ANZ CEO Chris Doubé said. “A growing brand is recognition from our customers and investors that we’re an increasingly important and relevant part of their lives.”

Axa was placed at 43 after its brand valuation rose 17% to $US15.75 billion ($23.83 billion), one above Budweiser and also ahead of closely-ranked Audi, Volkswagen, Zara, Nescafe, Goldman Sachs and Ford.

Allianz first entered the top 100 in 2007 and aspires to be a top 25 brand by 2025.

“In the two decades since we launched Best Global Brands, only 36 companies have remained in our Top 100,” Interbrand CEO Gonzalo Brujó said.

The top three 2022 global ranking spots were taken out by Apple, Microsoft and Amazon. Airbnb, Red Bull and Xiaomi entered the top 100 list for the first time.
