Despite a drop in iPhone sales in 2024, Apple remains on top with an impressive brand value of over $570 billion. U.S. big techs continue to dominate — holding four of the top five spots — reflecting their everyday presence and leadership in areas like AI, cloud computing, consumer electronics, and e-commerce.

A standout this year is Nvidia, which entered the top 10 for the first time with a remarkable 98% growth in brand value, driven by surging demand for AI chips and its strategic position in the semiconductor industry.
