Garuda Indonesia again tops YouGov BrandIndex’s annual brand health rankings for Indonesia. In a list featuring a large number of global brands, the national carrier reigns supreme for the second year in a row.

It is firmly ahead of search giant Google in second, mineral water brand Aqua (in third) and Indomie, the noodle producer. Streaming service YouTube is in fifth, just ahead of device manufacturer Samsung in sixth.

The list is rounded out by washing up liquid Sunlight (seventh), probiotic firm Yakult (eighth), toothpaste brand Pepsodent (ninth) and Honda motorcycles (tenth).

The rankings are based on YouGov BrandIndex’s Index score, which measures overall brand health. The score takes into account consumers’ perception of a brand’s overall quality, value, impression, reputation, satisfaction and whether consumers would recommend the brand to others.
