Zara tops BrandZ Top 30 Most Valuable Spanish brands

The dynamic approach is best demonstrated by the apparel sector, which has six entries in the Top   30. Alongside Zara there is also Massimo Dutti ($2.8 billion), Stradivarius ($2.1 billion), Bershka ($1.9   billion), Pull&Bear ($1.7 billion) – all owned by parent company Inditex and Mango ($1.2 billion). Zara   is also ranked No 34 in the 2017 BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands ranking. Its design   savvy with innovative supply chain and logistics enable it to develop and launch new collections in   days and weeks. In their home market, these, and other brands in the Top 30, are meeting the needs   of Spanish consumers, who have become increasingly sophisticated and selective.

The valuation behind the BrandZ Top 30 Most Valuable Spanish Brands was conducted by Kantar   Millward Brown, which specialises in brand equity research and brand valuation. The methodology   mirrors the calculation of the annual BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands ranking, which is   now in its 12^th year. Commissioned by Kantar, the ranking combines rigorously analysed financial   data from Bloomberg with the opinions of over 35,000 Spanish consumers since 2007, gathered for   over 2,779 brands in more than 44 categories. The BrandZ Top 30 Most Valuable Spanish Brands is   the most definitive and robust ranking of the country's brands available.

Spain is the fourth-largest producer of textiles in the world and these brands have thrived off the back of a business model that combines high-performing retail with successful e-commerce. David Roth, CEO EMEA and Asia, The Store WPP, says: "The first BrandZ ranking for Spain highlights how Spanish consumers have become increasingly sophisticated and are now demanding more of brands. To succeed, Spanish brands must be bold and courageous, break barriers, and work on differentiating themselves, which will help them offer the value consumers demand." (VM)
