JAKARTA, 11 August 2026 – Indonesia's 100 most valuable brands are worth a combined USD44.8 billion in 2026, down 16% year-on-year according to the Brand Finance Indonesia 100 2026 report by Brand Finance, the world's leading brand valuation consultancy.

Despite economic headwinds, Indonesia's leading brands continued to demonstrate resilience, supported by robust domestic consumption, ongoing downstream industrial development and sustained investment in digital transformation. Banking remains the dominant force in Indonesia's brand economy, accounting for 45% of the total value of the nation's top 100 brands.

BRI (brand value down 5% to USD6.9 billion) retains its position as Indonesia's most valuable brand for the fourth consecutive year. The bank continued to benefit from resilient retail banking growth, driven by strong demand for microfinance, housing and consumer loans. Its extensive nationwide franchise and leadership in financial inclusion continued to reinforce its position at the top of the ranking.

Bank Mandiri (brand value down 6% to USD5.2 billion) remains Indonesia's second most valuable brand, supported by resilient growth across its core banking businesses. Wider adoption of its Kopra digital platform, resilient commercial banking growth and continued operational improvements have reinforced its position as one of Indonesia's leading financial institutions.

BCA (brand value down 6% to USD4.2 billion) retains third place, underpinned by deep customer trust, premium positioning and sustained investment in its myBCA platform and youth-focused blu digital bank, reinforcing its relevance across customer segments.

Alex Haigh, Managing Director Asia Pacific, Brand Finance, commented:

"This year’s ranking highlights the resilience of Indonesia's leading brands despite broader economic headwinds. BRI has maintained its leadership as the country's most valuable brand, while Garuda Indonesia's rapid growth and BCA's continued brand strength demonstrate how brands with clear strategic positioning and sustained investment can continue to create value. These fundamentals leave Indonesia's leading brands well placed to capture future growth opportunities."

Garuda Indonesia (brand value up 53% to USD433 million) is Indonesia's fastest-growing brand in 2026. The national carrier benefited from a strong recovery in passenger demand and revenue, improved operational performance and renewed confidence following its business restructuring. Stronger international connectivity through its joint business venture with Japan Airlines, alongside continued recognition for service quality, further reinforced the airline's recovery.

Indomobil (brand value up 49% to USD81 million), Bintang (brand value up 46% to USD109 million) and Alfamart (brand value up 34% to USD612 million) are the brands to watch in this year's Indonesia 100 report. Indomobil is benefiting from Indonesia's accelerating electric vehicle transition, supported by the growing contribution of AION vehicles and local assembly capabilities. Bintang has capitalised on the continued recovery of the tourism, hospitality and nightlife sectors, while Alfamart continues to strengthen its leadership in modern retail through store expansion, digital investment and omnichannel services.

BCA (brand value down 6% to USD4.2 billion) remains Indonesia's strongest brand for the eighth consecutive year, achieving a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 95.9/100 and an AAA+ brand strength rating. According to Brand Finance's market research data, continued investment in digital banking and consistently high levels of customer trust have reinforced BCA's leadership across consideration and preference metrics.

Kalbe Farma ranks second among Indonesia's strongest brands with a BSI score of 92.6/100 and an AAA+ brand strength rating, supported by its extensive nationwide healthcare distribution network and strong consumer familiarity. Kimia Farma ranks third with a BSI score of 91.9/100 and an AAA+ brand strength rating, reflecting its longstanding heritage, extensive pharmacy network and continued efforts to modernise its brand while strengthening community healthcare engagement.

Among Indonesian brands, BRI records the country's highest Sustainability Perceptions Value (SPV) at USD328 million, highlighting the contribution of its sustainability reputation to overall brand value. Meanwhile, Bayan Resources records Indonesia's highest positive Sustainability Gap Value at USD1 million, indicating significant potential to unlock additional brand value through stronger communication of its sustainability initiatives.
