Google Gemini Surpasses ChatGPT in Market Dominance

Recent data indicates that ChatGPT is facing a decline in its market share, with Gemini emerging as a strong competitor in the online space. The extent of Gemini’s success in the mobile market remains uncertain.

According to a report by SimilarWeb, ChatGPT’s market share fell to 65% in January, marking a significant decrease from its 86% share in January 2025.

SimilarWeb’s data highlights Gemini’s rise above the 20% market share threshold, with Grok also making gains and approaching DeepSeek.

The data also suggests a decrease in the use of AI tools during the holiday season, with daily average visits dropping to levels seen in August-September. As people return to work, usage numbers are on the rise again.

It is evident that ChatGPT is facing a decline in popularity as alternative options gain traction. Independent tests have indicated that Claude Code outperforms ChatGPT in handling complex code, while Gemini excels in producing AI images with high realism.

Meanwhile, there are discussions within OpenAI about introducing advertisements on ChatGPT, a move that has been delayed due to concerns about potentially alienating the loyal user base, especially as Gemini gains favor among consumers.

As the Model Context Protocol (MCP) becomes the standard for connecting Large Language Models (LLMs) to tools and data, cybersecurity teams are swiftly enhancing security measures to protect these new services.
