Brand value

Brand value, not to be mistaken with brand equity, is a commonly used phrase in the marketing industry. It describes the value of brands based on the assumption that the owner of a well-known brand name can generate more money compared to products with a less well-known name. In 2023, the United States had the highest national brand value in the world. Meanwhile, France was the sixth highest-valued nation in terms of brand value.
