Samsung Electronics Company Ltd, has been named the number one brand in Campaign Asia-Pacific and NielsenIQ’s ‘Asia’s Top 1,000 Brands 2021’ study. This is the 10th consecutive year in which Samsung has been voted by consumers in the region as their top brand in the annual research conducted across 14 markets in Asia-Pacific.

Notably, Samsung ranked high in 15 product categories in Asia’s Top 1,000 Brands this year, up from 12 last year, and is the top brand in TV, cleaning appliances and smart home technology.

Asia’s Top 1,000 Brands aggregates data from an online survey developed by Campaign Asia-Pacific and global information and insights provider NielsenIQ. The survey was conducted between April 12 and 30, 2021.

The study explores consumer attitudes in 14 markets including Australia, China, Hong Kong (China), India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan (China), Thailand and Viet Nam.
