NVIDIA continues to dominate global semiconductor sector

News

Brand Finance data reveals strong growth for world’s top semiconductor companies despite ongoing supply chain challenges and geopolitical tensions.

NVIDIA has retained its position as the world’s most valuable semiconductor brand, according to a new report from Brand Finance, the world's leading brand valuation consultancy. With a 98% increase in brand value to USD87.9 billion, NVIDIA’s brand value is now more than two and a half times that of TSMC, the second-most valuable brand in the sector.

This growth propelled NVIDIA into the top 10 most valuable global brands list for the first time since it was valued in 2014, when it ranked 424th in the US 500. Last year, NVIDIA was the fastest growing brand in the world.

With a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 88.9 out of 100, NVIDIA has also become the world’s strongest semiconductor brand in 2025. This puts NVIDIA more than seven points ahead of Intel, whose BSI now stands at 81.4 out of 100 – a notable shift from Intel’s former position as the sector’s strongest brand in 2024.

Lorenzo Coruzzi, Valuation Director at Brand Finance, commented, "Artificial intelligence remains a hotbed of controversy, investment, and innovation, drawing significant interest from VCs and big tech firms. This AI-driven momentum continues to bolster semiconductor brand equity, with Brand Finance research confirming NVIDIA’s dominance. Brand Finance data also highlights NVIDIA’s strong 'positive contribution' score, reflecting widespread consumer trust and a strong market reputation. This enduring brand strength not only cements NVIDIA’s leadership in the semiconductor industry but also positions it for sustained growth in an increasingly competitive market. Looking ahead, a key question for the industry is sustainability—whether brands can maintain their value over time amid rapid advancements, including the recent launch of Deepseek.”

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang also retains his position as the third-ranked CEO globally in the 2025 Brand Guardianship Index, securing the top spot in the semiconductor sector. Under Huang’s visionary leadership, NVIDIA has not only advanced in AI but has also made significant strides in digital biology, climate science, autonomous vehicles, and robotics—sectors poised to reshape the future. According to Brand Finance data, Huang excels in familiarity, reputation, and is also recognised for his exceptional ‘strategy and vision.’

The Brand Finance Semiconductors 2025 ranking has expanded from 20 to 30 brands, reflecting the intensifying competition and rising influence of emerging players in the semiconductor industry, particularly in Europe. This expansion highlights the sector's dynamic evolution, with new entrants such as UK-based Arm (brand value USD1.5 billion) and Dutch brand ASM (brand value USD837 million) making their mark.
