Methodology

The Asia’s Top 1000 Brands study is based on a survey conducted by Campaign Asia-Pacific and global information and insights provider, Nielsen.

The survey was conducted online in 12 markets across Asia-Pacific (Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam), with 400 respondents surveyed in each market. Quotas were based on age, gender and monthly household income to be representative of the population.

Ranking of brands was ascertained based on responses to the below two questions as they related to 14 major categories (alcohol, financial services, automotive, retail, restaurants, food, beverage, consumer electronics, computer hardware, computer software, courier services, media and telecommunications, travel and leisure, and household and personal care) and 73 sub-categories.

Question 1: “When you think of the following category, which is the best brand that comes to your mind? By best, we mean the one that you trust the most or the one that has the best reputation in this category.”

Question 2: “Apart from the best brand that you entered, which brand do you consider to be the second best brand in the category?”
