April 08, 2022

MTN has retained the number one place on the ranking of the most valuable South African brands in the world, according to the latest Brand Finance report.

The leading telecoms brand value has surged this year, returning to growth after a disappointing result in 2021. MTN’s value (up 34% to R59.8 billion) has extended its lead over second-ranked Vodacom (up 5% to R29.9 billion) meaning that MTN’s brand value is now worth almost exactly double Vodacom’s brand value.

While the introduction of new regulations in have slowed growth in Nigeria, the number of MTN subscribers across the African continent increased by 2.9 million this year, to over 272 million subscribers globally.

The full ranking for 2022 is as follows:

  1. MTN – R59.8 billion
  2. Vodacom – R29.9 billion
  3. Standard Bank – R23.4 billion
  4. FNB – R23.4 billion
  5. Absa – R21.3 billion
  6. Multichoice – R17.5 billion
  7. Woolworths – R17.3 billion
  8. Shoprite – R15.7 billion
  9. Nedbank – R15.1 billion
  10. Mondi – R15 billion

The aggregate value of the top 50 South African brands grew by 15% this year, from R452 billion in 2021 to R519 billion in 2022. Similarly, the aggregate value of the top 100 South African brands grew by 17% this year, from R488 billion in 2021 to R570 billion in 2022.

This increase in brand values reflects significantly improved revenue forecasts in a future of lessened COVID-19 harm, and the likelihood of reduced civil unrest in key markets for South African brands.-bustech
