This graph tells an interesting story about how quickly the Generative AI market is changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Sensor Tower State of AI 2026 data shown, ChatGPT has 46.4% of the market, followed by Gemini at 27.7% and Claude at 10.3%. Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity and Meta AI are all currently below 4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s particularly interesting is what has happened to ChatGPT. Its market share has fallen, yet its number of users has grown dramatically, from 57.7 million to approximately 1.1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, ChatGPT has added more than a billion users while its share of the market has declined. That’s a remarkable illustration of just how rapidly the overall AI audience has expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other number that stands out is Gemini’s 27.7% share. There is now a sizeable gap between ChatGPT and Gemini, but there’s also a sizeable gap between Gemini and third-placed Claude at 10.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My prediction is that Gemini will catch ChatGPT within the next 12 months. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but it’s certainly going to be interesting to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on this graph, the market currently looks increasingly like a two-horse race between ChatGPT and Gemini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For marketers, that’s worth paying attention to. ChatGPT may still be number one, but Gemini has become too large to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

46.4% versus 27.7%. Let’s see where those numbers are 12 months from now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
