Companies desire earnestly to improve their performance in the market. All marketing decisions and programmes are thus triggered by this reason, because the market performance of a firm is essential to the corporate wellbeing of the business undertakings and also determines the continued existence of the firm in the business landscape.

Therefore, the present study seeks to extend the existing literature by studying the relationships between four dimensions of brand equity and market performance.

Also, there is a significant difference between the opinions of food and beverage firms and end customers in the assessment of market performance.
