The Asia’s Top 1000 Brands for 2016 is said to be the most comprehensive research on consumer brand perception. The list includes 1000 companies that are considered popular the past months based on an online survey by Nielsen. You’ll see the rank for this year versus the rankings in 2015.

Nestle is the only one from the Food industry landing on the first 10 popular brands.
The survey had 400 respondents from each market (but 800 in India and 1200 inChina) to answer a simply survey that asked which was the best brand or the most trustworthy one in each category. The second best brand was also asked for all 14 categories plus 73 sub-categories from automotive to retail to financial services, alcohol, leisure, consumer electronics, food, beverage, computer software, computer hardware, restaurants, courier services, media and telecommunications, household and personal care, and travel and leisure.
