The Sunday Times has released its Top Brands survey for 2018.<\/p>\n

The survey was split into two main segments – ‘consumer’ and ‘business’ – with seperate winners named based on each participant groups.<\/p>\n

The consumer survey was based on the findings of more than 3,500 face-to-face interviews conducted with adults in metro and non-metro areas of South Africa.<\/p>\n

The final results have been weighted to represent the population according to StatsSA 2015 mid-year population estimates.<\/p>\n

“While 2018 saw a downgrade of the South African economy and increasing pressure on food prices through rand fluctuations and the increase in the price of fuel, South Africans are still creating space for some additional luxuries here and there,” said Nuala Harris-Morele of Kantar TNS – which conducted the surveys.<\/p>\n

“We see usership in beauty and cosmetics, alcohol, personal care and fast food increase. In some cases, to offset these expenses, we see an increase in the usage of microloans.<\/p>\n

“This may be irresponsible spending, as we also see a decrease in the ownership of long-term insurance policy ownership,” she said.<\/p>\n

Some of the notable conusmer category winners are detailed below.<\/p>\n
