The brand trends of recent years have become even more pronounced. In the largest Swiss brand perception study, Swiss consumers are even more in favour of digital products and services, sustainable products and labels, and alternative forms of nutrition.

The study, commissioned by Havas Switzerland, was conducted by intervista in the first two weeks of February 2021. More than 4,500 consumers were surveyed about 489 brands and labels. For 10 years now, the Havas Brand Predictor has been measuring the perception of brands in terms of their dynamics, the trust placed in them and brand trends. These parameters are indicators for the current attractiveness of brands as well as for future preferences and purchase intentions of consumers.

Digital, meat-free and sustainable. What has already been observed for several years has become even more pronounced this year. Swiss consumers are becoming more digital, are increasingly demanding sustainable products and are more interested in meat-free products.

• Digital lifestyle: As in the previous year, Twint and Netflix occupy the top positions among the most dynamic brands in Switzerland. Twint was able to take over the leading position from Netflix and has definitely established itself among the Swiss. But other mobile banking products are also enjoying a strong upswing. Revolut, Neon and N26, for example, stand out with large dynamic increases.
• Sustainability: The dynamic growth of these labels and products is obvious. In the top 40 of all 489 brands, Migros Bio, Bio Suisse, Aus der Region. Für die Region, Alnatura, Miini Region, Naturaplan, Demeter, Fairtrade Max Havelaar, Suisse Garantie, Nature Suisse Bio and IP Suisse are all products and labels that stand for sustainability, organic or regional.
• Meatless: The topic of sustainability is also making itself felt in meat substitutes and food lines. The most dynamic 40 brands include many labels and products that support meat-free nutrition concepts (e.g. vegan, vegetarian): V-Label, Beyond Meat, Karma, V-Love and Planted.
