ChatGPT now takes over 81% of global AI chatbot traffic
Earlier this year, rivals like Google and Anthropic were growing fast, and ChatGPT's lead in the AI market seemed to be slipping. But a new study by Graphite shows ChatGPT is bouncing back.
The study found ChatGPT now takes over 81% of total traffic among major AI chatbot tools, and no competitor has reached a 10% share. Its monthly visits grew nearly 20%, hitting a record 61.35 billion in September, with weekly active users at 1.2 billion.
The research is based on Similarweb data. Over the past year, external referral traffic from AI services grew 92% worldwide, with ChatGPT contributing 60%. Google's AI Overviews now show up in 62% of searches in the US.
Notably, the US accounts for only 8.8% of global AI traffic, meaning over 90% of AI use happens outside the US. Monthly visits to major AI services worldwide reached 76 billion, up 37% year over year, showing the AI boom has become a global wave.
