The largest jump is attributed to the pharmaceutical retail brand Tei Pharmacy, which climbed 11 places to 37th place, after a notable increase of 30% in value, up to 23 million euros.
The 10 most valuable portfolios
Brand Finance also analyzes the 10 most valuable brand portfolios, valuing those companies that have more than one brand in the market.
The top 10 brand portfolios are virtually unchanged since 2017, as none of the other competitors had grown large enough to make their way into the rankings.
What is new for this year is the remarkable 22% increase in value of the Ursus Breweries portfolio to 213 million euros, which strengthens its leadership position, a growth mainly supported by the Timişoreana and Ursus brands. In contrast, the Cris-Tim portfolio recorded the largest decrease in value (-24%) up to EUR 52 million.
