Best Brand Africa is an independent people-led survey with branding experts that seek to establish brand preferences across the continent. This year’s research was conducted in eight East African countries and economic regions in Africa – which collectively account for more than 85% of the continent’s population and GDP. 

It is the most comprehensive survey on brands in Africa. 

The research, conducted annually by Best Brand Africa and its international expert partners, evaluated over 12,000 strong brands, of which only 1,500 – representing just 12.5% – qualified as Best Brands. The study was carried out independently from June 2024 to June 2025.
