Amul tops as the world's strongest food brand: Brand Finance report
Amul, which scored Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 91.0 out of 100 and an AAA+ rating, its brand strength is attributed to its strong performance in familiarity, consideration, and recommendation metrics, stated the Brand Finance's Food & Drink 2024 report.
The report highlighted that the food and beverage sector has seen a four percent decline in brand value this year, totalling around USD268 billion. This is due to consumers favouring smaller, private label brands over big names for unique, personalised products. (Still from an ad)
