ADNOC Becomes First Emirati Brand in the Global Top 100 Most Valuable

According to a new Brand Finance report, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company has become the first Emirati brand ever to enter the list of the 100 most valuable global brands.

ADNOC’s brand value rose about 11 percent year on year to $21.13 billion in 2026, representing more than 350 percent growth since 2017. It also kept its title as the UAE’s most valuable brand for the eighth year in a row.

Brand Finance measures brand value based on things like stakeholder equity, business performance, and the economic benefit the brand could generate if licensed on the open market.

In the overall ranking, ADNOC was placed as the sixth most valuable oil and gas brand in the world and the second most valuable brand in the Middle East behind Saudi Aramco. The report credits ADNOC’s global expansion, use of AI technologies, and progress on decarbonisation for its rise.

ADNOC’s managing director said this achievement reflects UAE leadership’s vision and growing global recognition of the company’s transformation into a tech‑enabled, globally competitive energy player.
