Brand Finance's ASEAN 500 2024 Rankings Name Jollibee, Mang Inasal, and Chowking as the Top Three Most Valuable Restaurant Brands

Top 3 Most Valuable ASEAN Restaurant Brand. Chowking earned near-perfect scores in familiarity and consideration metrics, making it the Top 3 most valuable ASEAN restaurant brand.


With the popular brands Jollibee, Mang Inasal, and Chowking named the top three most valuable restaurant brands in Brand Finance's ASEAN 500 2024 report, the Jollibee Group continues to leave its mark on the world stage, showcasing the strength of its brand portfolio. 

The top brand valuation consultancy in the world is Brand Finance. In addition to publishing over 100 reports that rank brands across all industries and nations, it performs over 6,000 brand valuations that are backed by original market research. Rising post-pandemic consumer spending and digital innovation are driving regional economic growth in the food, retail, hospitality, leisure, and tourism sectors, according to the ASEAN 500 2024 report.

“The top rankings of Jollibee, Mang Inasal, and Chowking as restaurant brands in Brand Finance’s ASEAN 500 2024 report is a testament to our collective commitment to excellence and sustainable growth. We thank our teams who consistently make every experience at our stores delightful. We also share this recognition with our franchisees, and business partners who share our values and our mission while driving long-term growth.” ~Ernesto Tanmantiong, Global Chief Executive Officer of the Jollibee Group


Jollibee: Most Valuable Restaurant Brand in ASEAN

The iconic flagship brand of the Jollibee Group, Jollibee, saw a remarkable 51% increase in brand value, reaching USD 2.3 billion. By reaching this milestone, Jollibee was crowned the most valuable restaurant brand in ASEAN and moved up 19 spots to rank 23rd among the most valuable brands in the region across all categories.

This notable expansion is a result of Jollibee's dedication to customer-centricity, product innovation, aggressive international expansion, strategic alliances, and a greater emphasis on sustainability—elements that have elevated the company's brand value and strength to unprecedented levels.

Jollibee is the second-fastest growing restaurant brand globally, surpassing global behemoths, according to a separate listing by Brand Finance that covers restaurant brands worldwide.


Mang Inasal: ASEAN’s Fastest-Growing Brand

Fastest Growing ASEAN Brand. Mang Inasal, the beloved Filipino casual dining brand of the Jollibee Group, has been cited as the fastest growing ASEAN brand in Brand Finance’s ASEAN 500 2024 Report, with an outstanding 201% surge in brand value. Earlier this year, Mang Inasal was also assessed as the strongest restaurant brand in the Philippines.


The popular Filipino casual dining chain Mang Inasal, owned by the Jollibee Group and known for its famous chicken inasal, was named ASEAN's fastest-growing brand in 2024 across all categories. It jumped 136 spots to become the 146th most valuable brand in the region, with a remarkable 201% increase in brand value to USD 374 million. Notably, after its sister brand, Jollibee, it rose to become the second most valuable restaurant brand in ASEAN.

According to Brand Finance's research, Mang Inasal has outstanding "familiarity" and "recommendation" scores, demonstrating its widespread consumer recognition and steadfast loyalty. 

Mang Inasal was also named the Philippines' strongest brand by Brand Finance earlier this year.


Chowking: Top 3 Most Valuable ASEAN Restaurant Brand

“As the impact of strategic alignment and shared resources in building consumer loyalty and driving sustained growth, iconic brands like Mang Inasal and Jollibee are growing and excelling within their sector. The collective strength of these brands reflects ASEAN's unique ability to adapt and thrive, with its sector’s progress amplifying the region's overall resilience and forward momentum.” ~Alex Haigh, Managing Director of Brand Finance, Asia Pacific

Chowking, Jollibee Group’s popular brand blending Filipino and Chinese cuisines, demonstrated impressive growth with a 56% increase in brand value, reaching USD 252 million. With a strong Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 75.6 out of 100 and an AA+ brand strength rating, Chowking earned near-perfect marks in familiarity and consideration metrics. It is now recognized as the 22nd most valuable brand in the Philippines and has risen to become the third most valuable restaurant brand in ASEAN.

For the second time, Jollibee Group has been recognized as one of TIME's "World's Best Companies"

The Jollibee Group named as one of the “World’s Best Companies” for two consecutive years by the prestigious TIME Magazine.


The Jollibee Group has been on TIME Magazine's esteemed "World's Best Companies" list for the past two years, and this recognition has only strengthened the company's standing internationally. 

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized once again on TIME’s World's Best Companies List. This reaffirms our commitment to creating a workplace that fosters excellence and growing the business sustainably. This recognition belongs to our people who work hard to achieve our dreams. Together, we will continue to work with passion and purpose to bring the joy of eating to everyone. We also share this recognition with our franchisees and partners who have supported us through the years.” ~Ernesto Tanmantiong, Jollibee Group Global President and CEO


Key dimensions of the ranking

A company's evaluation was based on three main factors, according to the international data and business intelligence platform Statista: revenue growth, sustainability transparency, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The final ranking score, which could have a maximum of 100 points, was created by adding the scores of each of the three dimensions on an equal percentage basis. The 1,000 businesses that achieved the highest score were named the 2024 World's Best Companies. 

For revenue growth, the Jollibee Group scored 84.81, or "very high." In 2023, the company's net income increased by 16% to PHP8.8 billion, while its total revenues increased by 15.2% to PHP244.1 billion. Its systemwide sales hit PHP343.32 billion, an all-time high record with a 16.3% increase.   

The Jollibee Group had record business performance, highlighted by back-to-back best-ever years in 2022 and 2023, thanks in large part to a strengthened People Agenda. The Company is still dedicated to creating an environment where workers' growth and well-being are given equal weight with their safety and contentment. The company ensures engagement at all levels—personal, with others around them, and with the company and community—through its dedicated People Agenda. 

Food, People, and Planet are the three main pillars around which the Jollibee Group's global sustainability agenda, Joy for Tomorrow, is built. The agenda was introduced in 2023. Employee Welfare is a top priority under the People pillar, emphasizing the improvement of lives via programs like Diversity & Inclusion, Employee Engagement, and Learning & Development. These initiatives support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN), highlighting the Group's overarching goal of bringing about long-lasting, positive change.

The Jollibee Group was recognized for its strong corporate culture and high employee engagement earlier this year when it was awarded the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for the third time. Remarkably, the Jollibee Group is still the only business with its headquarters in the Philippines to be awarded this esteemed title.

A long line of people and cars flocked for the opening of Jollibee’s first location in Michigan state. Despite having to close the store early due to extreme weather conditions, Jollibee Sterling Heights was still able to exceed sales targets.


The snow did not bother Detroiters who appeared undeterred by the freezing conditions in Sterling Heights, Michigan as they saw the eagerly awaited opening of Jollibee's most memorable store in Michigan state.

“Despite the intense cold on the day of our opening, local Detroiters still came in droves to have a taste of our Jollibee favorites. We are truly grateful for their love and support. We look forward to seeing both familiar faces and first-time customers at our first Michigan location in the close-knit Sterling Heights community, where we can’t wait to create many new joyful moments for those who call the Detroit area home.” ~Maribeth Dela Cruz, President of Jollibee North America
