November 10th, news that earlier this year, with the rise of rivals like Google and Anthropic, there was an increase in the number of people fighting for freedom of expressionChatGPT At one point, the dominance of the AI market showed signs of relaxation. However, a recent study shows that this flagship product under the flag of OpenAI is in an accidental rebound。
According to a study by the Research and Growth Marketing Corporation, ChatGPT currently dominates the world AI ChatbotThe share of total instrument flows has exceeded 81 per cent, and no rival has a market share of 10 per cent。
This is surprising given the recent attention given to Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude and the widespread perception of OpenAI as a growing competitive threat。
This study also challenges the idea that ChatGPT's pre-emergence growth has stalled。
In the first half of 2025, the use of ChatGPT had risen significantly, but since then, seven months in a row, it has basically fallen into the platform period. However, since the current year, its growth has resumed. Graham's analysis shows that ChatGPT monthly visits grew by almost 20 per cent, reaching 61.35 billion in September this year, a record high。
This data also confirms last week's report on Business Inners: ChatGPT's weekly active users have now reached 1.2 billion。
The data show that, while OpenAI ' s competitors are growing rapidly, there is a considerable gap between them and ChatGPT ' s leadership。
The study was led by Ethan Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Graham. Using the data provided by Similarweb, researchers analysed the website and application traffic of the main AI services, including users ' access to these services and their channelling to external websites。
Claude's growth performance has been remarkable over the past year, and Gemini has experienced rapid expansion. However, these increases started from a point far below ChatGPT。
Moreover, ChatGPT is not only attracting users but also increasingly directing users to other websites. Graphite data show that global external referral flows from AI services have increased by 92 per cent over the past year, with ChatGPT contributing 60 per cent。
THE STUDY ALSO REVEALED HOW AI IS CHANGING GOOGLE'S TRADITIONAL SEARCH OPERATIONS。
Google launched AI Overviews (AI overview) can provide AI-generated answers directly in search results and is now in 62% of US search queries。
Meanwhile, Google AI Mode is growing rapidly. This feature allows users to use search services in a more interactive manner. In August this year, AI Mode received 491 million page views in the United States。
PERHAPS THE MOST SURPRISING THING IS WHERE THESE AI ACTIVITIES ARE MAINLY TAKING PLACE。
1AI notes that, while the United States is in the lead in AI technology R & D, a Grampite study shows that the United States accounts for only 8.8 per cent of the global AI traffic. This means that more than 90% of the world's AI use comes from outside the United States, highlighting the fact that this round of AI heat has become a global wave。
OVERALL, THE NUMBER OF MONTHLY VISITS TO MAJOR AI SERVICES GLOBALLY REACHED 76 BILLION, AN INCREASE OF 37 PER CENT OVER THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR。
The message of this study is clear: AI markets are still expanding rapidly, while ChatGPT is still overwhelming。
