Popularity around the world
McDonald’s is the most valuable fast food brand in the world, by a significant margin, with a brand value of 126.04 billion U.S. dollars. The company has undergone significant developments in order to keep ahead of changing consumer preferences and general aspirations of healthy eating. Despite these changes, McDonald’s has not been able to arrest the decline in revenue the company has been experiencing since 2013. Peaking at 28.11 billion U.S. dollars in 2013, the revenue of McDonald’s corporation worldwide fell to 21.03 billion U.S. dollars by 2018.
