Executive News Report from ACNielsen Global Services September 2001

Global Summary
The ACNielsen Global Brand Report identifies those brands that have sales over a billion dollars as well as a geographic presence in all of the major regions of the world. The study findings are based on data from thirty countries, and although one may question if this is truly a global study with only thirty countries represented, these key markets account for 90% of the worlds gross domestic product (GDP) and are spread across all of the core geographic regions.
Over two hundred brands were researched for this study. One of the key findings of the study is that of the 200 plus brands researched only 43 brands actually met the criteria of having a global presence in each region and having over a billion dollars in sales.
If the requirement for geographic reach had not been included a number of additional brands would have made the list. Even among the 43 brands chosen, most had the largest concentration of sales in their region of origin.
To be part of the global brand list, a brand needed to have not only geographic presence across all of the regions, but it must have had at least 5% of its sales outside of its home region. Overall, most of the brands had a high concentration of sales in either North America or Europe (62% on ave rage). For three brands, both North America and Europe had equal predominance (Gillette, Pedigree and Always). The 43 brands on the list represent 23 global manufacturers and a total of over $125 billion in sales.
Due to the fact that no one measure can include all channels of consumer purchasing, this study is heavily weighted towards purchases from retail stores and excludes purchases in such outlets, for example, as restaurants or bars. Although the list of brands may not be all-inclusive due to coverage limitations, it does provide a significant look into the globalization of our consumer brands.
Executive News Report from ACNielsen Global Services September 2001 Global Summary 1 of 4

Beverages Are Number One

Not surprising to any global traveler, the category with the most billion dollar global brands was the beverage category. Nearly a third of the brands included in the final list (13 of the 43) were some type of beverage, including five carbonated beverages, two juice brands, one sports drink, two coffee brands and three beer brands. Although local taste preferences may be accommodated by different product formulations distributed under the same brand name, essentially consumers around the world are all drinking variations of these same brands. The total Coca-Cola brand was number one among Beverages at well over $15 billion in sales, with its two sub-brands, Coca-Cola and diet Coke, having more than a billion dollars in sales in their own right. Pepsi and its associated sub brands, Pepsi and Diet Pepsi (including Pepsi Light, Pepsi Max and Pepsi One) ranked as the number two beverage brand.
Snack Foods and Pet Foods Each Have Three

Although no other single food group had as significant a number of brands included as the Beverage category, there were three snack foods that stood out with over a billion dollars in global sales (Pringles, Lays and Doritos). Soup, Cereal, Yogurt, Cheese, Chewing Gum, and Chocolate all had one brand each on the list. Pet Foods were represented by a dog-food brand (Pedigree), a catfood brand (Whiskas) and a brand that caters to both cats and dogs (Friskies).
Tobacco Brands Have Strong Presence

Four tobacco brands had a significant global presence and met the billion dollar criteria: Marlboro, Benson & Hedges, Camel and L&M. Like the Beverage category, although local formulations may differ, consumers in every region are smoking these common brands.

A Mix of Categories
Of the remaining fourteen brands, no one category emerged as dominant, with 12 categories each having representation. Both the Battery category (with Duracell and Energizer) and the Diaper category (with Pampers and Huggies) each had two brands on the list. In the area of hair care, two billion dollar global brands emerged, Pantene in the category of Shampoo & Conditioners and LOreal in the Colorants category. Other categories with billion dollar brands included Moisturizers & Cleansers Nivea; Toothpaste Colgate; Facial Tissues Kleenex; OTC Pain Remedies Tylenol; Film Kodak; Blades and Razors Gillette; and Sanitary Protection Always. Interestingly enough, there was only one household product on the list, Tide Laundry Detergent. Although manufacturers market similar household and cleaning products around the world, they are often marketed under different brand names.
Eight Manufacturers Dominate the List

Of the 23 manufacturers that are responsible for the marketing of these 43 billion dollar global brands, eight had more than one brand on the list. PepsiCo had the most brands with six (when including 7-Up, which is distributed by Cadbury Schweppes in the U.S.). Procter & Gamble and The Philip Morris Companies (including Kraft Foods) each had five brands. The Coca-Cola Company had four brands. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, The Gillette Company, Mars and Nestl each had two brands included. In the Tobacco category, although Marlboro and L&M are definitely Philip Morris brands, the other two brands both have some type of multi-company relationship. British American Tobacco, Philip Morris and Gallaher, for example, all have an interest in Benson & Hedges, and both RJReynolds and Japan Tobacco distribute Camel (depending on the country). As mentioned earlier, the 43 brands reported in the study accounted for over $125 billion dollars in sales. Nearly three-quarters of these sales were attributable to the eight manufacturers with multiple brands on the list.

Growth Among Global Brands - Inconsistent

The growth across the 43 brands over the last two years shows little consistency. Perceived healthy products (such as juice, sports drinks and yogurt) have experienced double digit growth over the last two years. On the other hand, the snack food entries of Lays and Doritos, as well as Wrigleys gum also showed significant growth. In the health and beauty care area Niveas growth was also high in the most recent year-over-year comparison. Few other brands have experienced this type of double-digit growth. One reason may be that we have looked at a consistent set of 30 countries across the three years and have not included new country expansion beyond these 30 borders.
In Summary
Although there is a proliferation of brands on the market, what this study illustrates is that there are a relatively few number of brands that one can truly call global. The definition used in this study, some might call too liberal because of the requirement for only 5% of sales outside of the home region, while others might call it too restrictive due to the fact that the brand needed to have a presence in each region. Overall, the beverage companies appear to be the most ahead on the globalization curve, both in the number of global products and in the magnitude of sales. The tobacco companies also have a significant number of global brands on the list (4 out of 43). Although growth across the 43 brands is on average less than 10%, eight of the 43 brands have experienced double-digit growth in the most recent year. Again, the growth picture may be somewhat understated as we are using a consistent country set for our year-over-year comparisons.

Regional Findings
Sales in Regions Closely Follow Global Findings
Looking at the 43 global billion dollar brands within each of the four regions (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Europe, Middle East & Africa), we see that the regional sales of the global brands closely follow the global findings. For example, in each of the four regions, Coca-Cola and Marlboro were consistently the top two brands of the forty-three brands studied.
North America & Europe Are the Largest Markets

One key finding mentioned in the Global Summary is that all of the brands included in the global list had their largest markets in either North America or Europe, Middle East & Africa. Three of the 43 brands were equally strong in the two regions (Gillette, Pedigree, and Always). This is not surprising considering the fact that of the countries included in the report, North America accounts for 32% of the world's GDP and Europe 33%. Asia and Latin America represent 20% and 5% respectively.
Regional Differences
Although the global findings are fairly consistent across the regions, below is a summary of some of the regional variations. Europe, Middle East & Africa (Twenty countries) Of the brands on the list, Europe, Middle East and Africa is the dominant region for 16 of the global brands. Eight of these brands have at least 70% of their sales within the region: Benson & Hedges, Guinness, Heineken, Kinder, L&M, Nivea, Whiskas, Camel. Guinness Beer (country of origin: Ireland) and Kinder Chocolate (country of origin: Italy), each had over 90% of their sales within Europe. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Tylenol is in only a handful of countries in Europe and plays a relatively minor role in the region.
Executive News Report from ACNielsen Global Services September 2001 Regional Findings 1 of 3

North America (Two countries) North America is the dominant region for 24 of the global brands on the list.
Eleven of these brands have at least 70% of their sales within the region: Budweiser, Campbells, Gatorade, Kodak, Kleenex, Lays, Maxwell House, Minute Maid, Tide, Tropicana, Tylenol.
Three brands had over 90% of their sales in North America (Campbell's Soup, Tide Laundry Detergent, and Tylenol Pain Remedies). Within categories, we do see some strong regional preferences. For example, Maxwell House ranks higher than Nescaf in North America. In Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America, the picture is reversed.
As detailed in the report, an element of the criteria to be included in the global report was that in addition to having a presence in each region, more than 5% of a brand's value sales had to be outside of the home market. If this 5% criteria had not been included, several other strong North American brands would have made the list (e.g. Enfamil Infant Formula and Mountain Dew Carbonated Beverage).
Kinder Chocolate and L&M are strongly European, and although they have a presence in North America, they do not play any major role in the market.
Fanta Carbonated Beverage is somewhat unique. Although in three of the four regions the carbonated beverage has a strong presence (withi n the top five global brands), the brand does not have any significant presence in North America.

Asia Pacific (Five countries) Of the 43 brands that made the list, none originated in this region. As mentioned above, Nescaf had a strong presence in Asia Pacific as one the top five brands in the region. Over thirty percent of its sales are in this region. P&G's Always product plays a fairly insignificant role in Asia Pacific as another similar P&G product is marketed under the brand name Whisper. L&M also has a fairly small presence in this region.
In addition, as with Europe, Tylenol has a fairly insignificant presence in Asia

Pacific.
Latin America (Three countries) Gillette's Razors and Blades brand has a strong presence in Latin America and in fact, is one of the top five global brands in the region. Carbonated beverages rated high in this region. This is not surprising since Mexico has one of the highest per capita consumption of carbonated beverages around the world.
One of the most significant findings regarding Latin America is that a number
of global brands (Maxwell House, Minute Maid and Tide) although present, were significantly under developed. Although globally Benson & Hedges is larger than L&M tobacco products, in Latin America, L&M has a larger presence.

The Brands by Category

(In Alphabetical Order within Category)
Beverage Brands: Carbonated Beverages

COCA-COLA Coke is it as one of the number one beverage companys tag line states, the Coca-Cola brand continues to dominate the inte rnational beverage market. With a number of popular sub-brands (including diet Coke or Coca-Cola light), the Coca-Cola brand has expanded to bring new variety and flavor into the global marketplace. FANTA A bright orange can, a sparkling fruit drink, Fanta is a recognizable brand in Europe and is beginning to increase distribution again into North America. Although orange is the most popular flavor, Fanta offers a number of different fruit and citrus variations for the consumer. Owned and operated by The Coca-Cola Company, Fanta is yet another strong brand of the worlds most powerful soft drink manufacturer. PEPSI The Pepsi Challenge has been an ongoing crusade as the number two beverage constantly battles its number one rival Coca-Cola. From a pharmacists drugstore in 1898, Pepsi, with its significant subbrands of Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max, has grown to become a formidable brand in the soft drink market, and a successful and recognizable brand around the world. SEVEN-UP Although no one quite seems sure about how the name came about, there is no disputing that 7-Up has become a powerful global brand. Owned by Cadbury Schweppes in the U.S. and by Pepsi throughout the rest of the world, the clear refreshing taste of 7-Up is appreciated by people everywhere. SPRITE If you were to Obey your thirst, as the advertising campaign promotes, The Coca-Cola Company would have you drinking yet another of their successful global brands. Sprite, a clear lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage is a popular alternative to the colas.
.

Still Beverages
GATORADE In 1965 the University of Florida Gators football team required a drink so, through University research, Gatorade was born. Targeting the highenergy sporting market, Gatorade is a thirst quenching drink that helps replenish bodily nutrients and re-hydrate the active athlete. Originally owned by Stokely-Van Camp, then the Quaker Oats Company, and now PepsiCo, Gatorade is the original and the most widely known sports drink globally. MINUTE MAID Fresh, concentrated, or in a drinking box juices have taken on many forms. Minute Maid supplies them all. From orange and apple to lemonade, Minute Maid lets you know that they take the freshest fruit from the tree straight to your glass. With new formulations such as orange juice with Calcium and Minute Maid Premium Extra (extra Vitamin C, E and zinc), The Coca-Cola Company brings us another global beverage brand. TROPICANA Tropicana has a range of products from the freshly squeezed Pure Premium sub -brand (with additional options of pulp and vitamin-C) to the wide variety of juices from concentrate like Seasons Best. Tropicana has been a division of PepsiCo since 1998, and has built a successful global brand of natural and refreshing fruit juices and drinks.
Beer
BUDWEISER Well known for the most creative of commercials, the Anheuser-Busch brand Budweiser, along with its sub-brand Bud-Light, has garnered itself a significant place in the world of global brands. Since its introduction in 1876 Budweiser today has a clear dominance of the North American market. Now available in more than 70 countries, Budweiser is working hard to make the same in-roads into the international arena. GUINNESS Although many global consumers use the phrase bottle of beer, those who drink Guinness, especially in their home country of Ireland, are most likely asking for a pint. Guinness is owned by Diageo (the result of a 1997 merger between Grandmet and Guinness). Although mostly renowned in Europe, Guinness is e ffectively branching into the global marketplace.
.

HEINEKEN Often recognized for its green can or bottle, Heineken can be spotted in more than 170 countries around the world. It was in 1592, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, that the seeds of the Heineken Empire were first planted. Today, Heineken is one of the three beer brands most recognized around the world.
Coffee
MAXWELL HOUSE From the aroma of freshly brewing coffee, to the first taste, all the way to the final sip, Kraft says that Maxwell House coffee is Good to the last drop. In 1892 in Nashville, Tennessee, the coffee received its first honor when a hotel owner decreed to serve only Joel Cheeks special blend on its premises. The hotel was the Maxwell House Hotel, and a global brand was born. NESCAF After years of research, it was in the 1930s that Nestl developed the ability to create a great tasting cup of coffee by simply adding water. With the invention of freeze dried in 1965 and the coffee granule two years later, todays Nescaf (named from the combination of Nestl and caf) is the global instant coffee brand.
Tobacco Brands
BENSON & HEDGES Since its first launch in 1873, the success of Benson & Hedges is now in the hands of numerous companies. Together, Rothmans Benson & Hedges (Philip Morris owns 40%), Gallaher (who first introduced the brand to the UK market in the 1960s) and British American Tobacco (who distribute the brand to more than 80 countries), make Benson & Hedges one of the best known cigarette brands around the world. CAMEL RJReynolds, founded in 1875, began its operation with chewing tobacco. The Camel brand, introduced in 1913, became the first nationally popular cigarette in the United States. Today, RJReynolds International, now known as Japan Tobacco International, sells the brand in more than 170 countries outside of the U.S.
.

L&M In 1998 Philip Morris extended their ownership of Liggetts brand L&M from just international markets to include the United States. Although Europe is currently this tobacco brands largest market, with the introduction of a recent global advertising campaign, L&M is now building awareness around the world. MARLBORO When one thinks of Marlboro, the images can vary from a cowboy on an open plain to a 200 mph racecar flashing by. Philip Morris has grown from a small tobacco shop in London, England (in the mid 1800s) to having a global brand in Marlboro that is recognizable to smokers and non-smokers alike.
Chips & Snacks

DORITOS With Doritos, Frito-Lay satisfies the global consumer looking for a tortilla chip with a variety of flavorful options. Not only that, Frito-Lay has now introduced a product for consumers looking for a break from their standard, flat, two dimensional snacks, namely Doritos 3-D. Evolving since 1966, Doritos have made themselves recognizable around the globe. LAYS In 1938, Herman W. Lay forever changed his potato chip distribution company by buying the manufacturer of the potato chips he was selling and introducing the LAYS brand. Twenty-three years later, H.W. Lay & Company would merge with Frito to create Frito-Lay Inc. From a reformulation in 1992 to make the LAYS chip even better, to baked LAYS and Wavy LAYS, 25 countries now appreciate how far Hermans original chip has come. PRINGLES It's impossible to deny that Procter & Gamble have developed a very distinctive chip in the form of Pringles. With their perfect shape and cylindrical packaging, P&G have made the potato chip into an art form. Available in a number of different flavors, Pringles have nearly 80% of their sales in the North American and European markets.
.

Pet Food
FRISKIES Originally developed and owned by Carnation, Carnation and their Friskies brand was bought by Nestl in 1985 in order to introduce pet care into Nestl's product line. Although best known for cat food in most countries Friskies also meets the needs of dogs with such sub-brands as Alpo. PEDIGREE Pedigree products such as Pedigree Performance, Pedigree Lean and Pedigree Puppy are designed to target the various needs of different dogs. Available in cans, bags and Pedigrees Flavor-Lock pouches, Pedigree effectively combines a variety of different foods in a variety of different forms.

.

KELLOGGS Kelloggs, and the giant red K, are synonymous with the early morning bowl of cereal that constitutes the first, and some say the most important, meal of the day. With Kelloggs Cornflakes and Frosted Flakes leading the cereals in their global fold, Kelloggs is today marketed in over 160 countries around the world. KINDER Its certainly not a surprise that kids love the famous Kinder Surprise. With a tiny toy inside, this little egg has worked its way around the world and has helped Kinder become a globally recognized brand. Owned b y the confectionery company Ferrero SpA, Kinder brings the joy of chocolate in a variety of forms to kids and adults everywhere. PHILADELPHIA It's been a long time since Philadelphia Cream Cheese was first introduced in 1880, a mere eight years after Cream Cheese was first invented. Named after the city that was renowned at the time for dairy products and great foods, Philadelphia Cream Cheese has been part of the Kraft family since 1928. WRIGLEYS The act of chewing gum has evolved from ancient times of tree resins, grasses and waxes. Originally selling soap, then baking powder, the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company found their success in the form of a stick of chewing gum. Now the brand is available in a number of flavors and forms in over 100 countries.
Household Brands

Products
In the initial phase of this study, a review was done, by category and by manufacturer, to identify possible brands that wo uld meet the criteria set. The research included a review of ACNielsen Top Brand reports from a number of countries, ACNielsens International Databases (where available) and manufacturers web sites. Based on the above research, a request was made to the local ACNielsen offices in 30 countries for information on 224 brands, from 53 manufacturers across 59 categories. Out of the 224 brands considered, 43 brands met the necessary criteria. Identification of a Brand The way brands are defined differs across countries and companies. For this project we have aimed to be consistent in how we defined a brand based on both the packaging, marketing and consumer views of brands. When brands were seen to have a number of variants or sub-brands these sub-brands were noted. Each of the brands selected has been measured within a category. Umbrella brands that cross category boundaries have not been aggregated across categories (e.g. Nivea is a billion dollar brand within Moisturizers & Cleansers, although it also has a smaller presence within Hair Care and Deodorants). Since this was a "brand" study, we have not added products together that may be similar in formulation but carry different names in different countries. Lays, for example, is a global brand but PepsiCo market a similar product in a number of other countries under the Walkers name. We did not add the two together.
Category Growth
Growth rates were calculated including only those countries where consistent data was available for each of the years involved.

Three Years of Data Studied

The data reported includes information from the last three years (when available) with the time period ending in Q1 of each year (e.g. 2001 data includes Q2 2000 Q1 2001). There is some slight variation in the actual months included from the individual countries due to different data availability.
Category Coverage
Coverage of a brands sales differs based on the type of channels in which the brand is sold. Local ACNielsen information was used in the study. Therefore, products most often purchased within a grocery store will always benefit from ACNielsens strong coverage of grocery retailers. Impulse purchases, such as purchases of carbonated drinks, cigarettes or alcohol from kiosks, bars, restaurants or vending machines, are generally not included making the data coverage for these brands considerably lower. Coverage by country differs and is dependent on the number of channels included in the local countrys base services. For example, beer, which is not tracked by ACNielsen in Mexico nor Canada, is therefore understated in the final sales reported.
Brand Coverage
The number of countries in which each brand was found is included in the Billion Dollar Brand chart. Many of the brands had sales in all 30 countries. Although generally a lack of sales in a country indicates a lack of presence there, for some brands the missing country information may have been due to the brand being too small and therefore, being included in an All Other line. As mentioned above with regards to beer, in a few cases (including Kodak film) the number of countries in which the brand was recorded was impacted b y ACNielsens limited coverage of the category in some markets.
