Digiamagaz.com – Artificial intelligence chatbots have rapidly evolved from novelty tools into essential digital assistants. Whether drafting professional emails, summarizing research, or guiding customer support, chatbots are shaping how people interact with AI daily. A new analysis of annual web visits reveals which platforms are gaining momentum—and which ones are struggling to keep pace in 2025.
ChatGPT Maintains Its Unmatched Lead
OpenAI’s ChatGPT continues to set the standard for AI-driven conversations. According to the latest traffic data, the platform recorded 46.59 billion visits in 2025, accounting for nearly half of the global chatbot market (48.36%). What makes this dominance even more significant is its 106% year-over-year growth, proving that demand is still accelerating despite a crowded field of competitors.
In perspective, ChatGPT’s traffic is four times larger than the combined visits of its top 10 rivals, underscoring its position as the industry’s undisputed leader.

Rising Competitors: DeepSeek, Gemini, and Claude
While ChatGPT maintains its dominance, several challengers are gaining traction:
-
DeepSeek (China) rose dramatically to 2.74 billion visits, marking a staggering 48,848% increase from last year.
-
Google’s Gemini (U.S.), with 1.66 billion visits, continues to benefit from its integration with Google’s vast ecosystem.
-
Anthropic’s Claude (U.S.) recorded 1.15 billion visits, fueled by its reputation for safe and enterprise-ready AI interactions.
The Fragmented Middle Tier
Other contenders occupy a smaller but important slice of the market:
-
Perplexity (U.S.) – 1.47B visits, popular among research-focused users.
-
Microsoft Copilot (U.S.) – 957M visits, widely adopted in professional environments through Office and Windows.
-
Grok (U.S.) – 686M visits, backed by X (formerly Twitter) to expand its AI footprint.
Winners and Losers: Poe, Meta AI, and Mistral
Not all platforms are trending upward. Poe suffered a steep 46% drop, landing at 378M visits. By contrast, Meta AI (130M) and Mistral (101M) remain niche players but are slowly gaining ground.
A Market Still in Transition
The 2025 rankings make one thing clear: ChatGPT is not only leading but expanding its dominance. However, the explosive rise of DeepSeek and steady growth of Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity show the market is far from stagnant.
As AI adoption deepens across industries and regions, the competition could reshape quickly. Specialized features, geographic strengths, and integration strategies will determine which chatbots thrive in the next wave of adoption.
For now, though, the chatbot market remains defined by a single leader—and a diverse field of challengers working to close the gap.
