Yili Named The World’s Most-Valuable Dairy Brand
Yili continues to hold the title of the world’s most-valuable dairy brand for the fifth consecutive year, with the Chinese brand boasting a value of $11.6 billion (€10.4 billion), according to brand valuation consultancy Brand Finance.
Despite its dominance, Yili’s brand value was down 6% compared to last year.
Digital Transformation
Yili operates 15 global R&D centres and has developed a three-tiered innovation platform, which aims to foster advancements from raw materials to final products – measures that have contributed to its strong market position.
In December 2023, Yili introduced a number of health-oriented products and updated its supply chain through the implementation of various digital transformation measures.
Dairy Challenges
Announcing the most-valuable dairy brands, Brand Finance warned that the dairy sector faces challenges with a sharp decline in prices affecting revenues.
This price drop has significantly impacted the revenues of many prominent dairy companies, resulting in lower overall revenues.
The report shows that the total value of the top 10 dairy brands ranked experienced a decrease of 6%, from $46.7 billion (€41.8 billion) in 2023, to $43.8 billion (€39.2 billion) now.
Strongest Dairy Brand
Amul retains its status as the ‘strongest’ dairy brand in the rankings, with an improved Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 91 out of 100. Its value was up 11% to $3.3 billion (€2.9 billion).
The brand holds an 85% share in the Indian butter market and a 66% market share in cheese.
Fastest Growing
Valio (brand value up 31% to $2 billion) makes an entry into the top ten this year, climbing four spots to secure 10th position and earning the title of the fastest-growing dairy brand.
This is partly attributed to the acquisition of Planti, a Finnish producer of plant-based dairy alternative products.
With this acquisition, Oddlygood, a subsidiary of Valio, becomes the market leader in plant-based dairy alternative snacks in Sweden and dairy alternative cooking products in Finland.
The top ten most valuable dairy brands, in order, are: 1. Yili, 2. Danone, 3. Mengniu, 4. Almarai, 5. Amul, 6. Arla, 7. Vinamilk, 8. President. 9. Iluma, 10. Valio.
