⭐ Big Story → ChatGPT Falls Below 50% Market Share for the First Time as Gemini and Claude Surge
A new Sensor Tower report reveals ChatGPT’s share of the global AI assistant market fell to 46.4% as of May 2026, the first time it has dipped below 50% since the category launched in November 2022.
🔍 Highlights:
📉 ChatGPT’s share dropped from 65.3% in December 2024 to 52.8% in December 2025 to 46.4% by May 2026, a steady decline as the overall AI market expands
📱 Google Gemini grew from 533M to 662M monthly users in five months, driven by deep integration into Android, Search, and Workspace
🚀 Claude quadrupled from 60M to 245M monthly users since December 2025, powered by Anthropic’s enterprise push and the Fable 5 launch
📊 ChatGPT is still growing in absolute terms (1.05B to 1.11B), but the market is expanding faster, meaning OpenAI’s dominance is eroding
