Consumer perceptions shift daily. Some brands ride those shifts better than others.
YouGov's Biggest Brand Movers is a monthly look at the brands that are genuinely gaining ground with consumers in KSA, not just in one area, but across the board. YouGov track hundreds of brands every single day through YouGov BrandIndex, and each month we identify the ten that have shown the most statistically significant growth across 13 brand metrics, covering everything from whether people are talking about a brand, to whether they'd actually buy from it.
For February 2026, we compared brand performance across January and February 2026, and the results tell an interesting story.
Vimto leads this month's rankings, showing improvement across 10 out of 13 tracked metrics. Close behind are STC Bank, Pizza Hut, Coca-Cola Zero, and Al Othaim, each showing meaningful gains in how Saudi consumers think, feel, and talk about them.
