2015 Asian Consumer Favorite Brand Ranking Released

Japan's economic news releases an annual list of "Asian consumers' favorite brands". The survey is targeted at consumers in big cities in six major Asian countries, covering five areas of services and products, including automobiles, luxury goods, fast fashion, smart phones and Internet.

Compared with last year, the list has been less named - in other words, consumers in Asian countries are becoming more and more popular with brands.

And,

Alipay, with its overwhelming advantage, has won the first place in the Chinese market, "the most consumer service".

Of course, it does not exclude that many Internet services can not be used by Chinese consumers.

Let's take a look at this list.

Alibaba, China's largest electricity supplier, ranks sixth in the world, but in the Chinese market, Alipay ranks first among consumers.

In addition to supporting the backbone of e-commerce, Alipay itself has been widely popularized as a means of payment. In China, more than 9 of consumers have "used the service", and Alipay has overwhelmingly supported it.

European and American brands have taken the first place in all fields of "most want to buy and most want" products and services, while Asian brands are only South Korean Samsung Electronics in smart phones, and Japan's UNIQLO occupies a place in fast fashion.

In terms of cars, BMW and Audi still take the top two. Mercedes Benz squeezed the Japanese TOYOTA in last year's list into the top three. It seems that the frequent exposure of the German car scandal did not affect the impression of "made in Germany" in the minds of Asian consumers.

However, the ranking of the public returned to eleventh place from 7, and the ranking in Southeast Asia decreased significantly.

However, in the Chinese market, which accounts for 40% of the public's global sales, its ranking has only dropped slightly, from second to third.

The survey was included for the first time.

In the survey, Gucci has won the "most wanted brand" and "once bought brand" first in the field.

Gucci has greatly increased the number of stores with China as its center. Sales of Asia Pacific region, excluding Japan, accounted for 36% of the total sales of 3 billion 500 million euros in 2014 years.

Sweden's fast fashion brand (thematic reading) H&M rose rapidly, replacing the Hongkong brand Giordano, with a weak margin in the second place, and ZARA still leads.

UNIQLO replaces third of China's and Thailand's market performance.

The fast selling group of UNIQLO parent company has set up 100 stores in China every year, and the total number of stores in China will reach 400, and the fast selling group has put forward the goal of "sales in 2020 reaching 500 million yen".

Research shows that UNIQLO's evaluation of "quality", "innovation", "service" and "price advantage" is better than that of ZARA, but it is not as good as ZARA in terms of "design" and "advanced sense".

This autumn, UNIQLO issued a joint design with Hermes's former designer to design Lemaire series clothing, hoping to attract the middle class and wealthy class in Asia.

Apple is still the favorite smartphone of Asian consumers.

In 2015, iPhone 6S sales in China increased by 99% over the same period last year, which has played a strong role in traction. 7-9.

SONY kept the third ranking, which is somewhat surprising.

Analysts believe that SONY's focus on high value-added models will release the world's first mobile phone that can display 4K HD images, and has been supported by consumers.

SONY has positioned Southeast Asia as its main market. It will consider setting up a new factory in Thailand. It will start processing products from electronic parts assembly and grinding.

In terms of Internet related services, e-commerce related services are more powerful.

Apart from China and India, Amazon has not set up a dedicated website targeting other countries in the other countries, ranking first among consumers' most wanted a services, surpassing Google and Facebook, and being the seventh place in "used services".

More than 90% of Chinese consumers used Alipay services, and Alibaba ranked sixth.

Ah, I really want to know what the most desirable service for Chinese consumers is.
