Technology Powers Brand Growth
The 2025 BrandAsset Valuator reveals a new dynamic in Switzerland’s brand landscape. While last year’s rankings were dominated by "comfort brands" that convey safety and stability, 2025 sees digital providers leading the way. Twint, Apple, Samsung, WhatsApp, and Google dominate the top spots.
Twint, Switzerland’s mobile payment solution, has made an impressive leap—climbing ten places compared to last year—and has overtaken Google at the top. Its close integration with Swiss banks and the growing preference for cashless payments have made Twint one of the country’s most important digital brands.
Apple and Samsung continue to benefit from the digitalization trend, further strengthening their brand power through innovation and ease of use. Consumers recognize both brands for their technological leadership and user-centric design.
Digital Brands Win Over the Younger Generation
Digital brands are particularly successful among Generation Z (under 30 years old). Twint, Nike, and Swiss Post top the list for this demographic. The study highlights changing shopping habits, with more consumers shopping online, often making smaller purchases more frequently—driving the adoption of digital payment methods. Platforms like Temu and Shein are further accelerating this shift toward digital services.
Interestingly, Swiss Post is also highly popular with this group. The increasing volume of parcel deliveries has had a positive impact on its brand perception, as the excitement of receiving parcels translates into a stronger emotional bond with the brand.
Digital Interaction & Creative Innovation Drive Brand Success
While technology fuels brand growth, creative engagement is equally important. Brands like Lego, Apple, Samsung, and Ikea show that encouraging creativity and interaction fosters long-term success. Apple, in particular, has established itself not only as a technological innovator but also as a cultural icon.
The study concludes that businesses combining digital innovation with creative brand leadership are best positioned for future success. Institutions like ETH Zurich and ZHAW are strong examples—actively supporting new technology development. yellowpages.swiss provides valuable resources and insights for Swiss companies seeking to strengthen their digital strategies and market presence.
