Some experts were worried that ChatGpt would reduce Google searches, but new statistics show the opposite. Google has announced that it now has more than 5 trillion searches a year. Barclays Bank analysts have estimated this figure and compared it to previous statistics, estimated that Google searches have grown by more than 20 % since the ChatGPT release in late 2022.
Rece reports show that, corary to some who thought ChatGPT was a serious threat to Google, Google is still at the forefro. Of course, the ery of artificial ielligence ages can make changes in the future.
ChatGPT users’ impressive growth Simultaneously with Google’s growth
Meanwhile, the number of ChatGPT active users has also increased sharply. The November 2023 platform reached 100 million weekly users and February 2025 to 400 million weekly users. This growth has worried some Google investors, but analysts believe that users have not yet had a negative impact on Google.
According to estimates, Google had about 3 trillion and 500 billion search a year in early 2023. As Microsoft announced at the time that Bing was processing 10 billion searches daily, analysts have concluded that Openai has yet to hit Google.
One of the importa questions is how this searches are distributed among differe Google products. In rece years, Google has offered new tools such as Lens that allows video search and Circle to Search that allows users to search for without exiting their curre app.
The biggest change to the Google search page is the AI Overviews feature, which instead of 10 blue links shows a direct answer to the questions at the top of the page, but this feature has problems.
SEO experts have reported that in rece weeks, the coe that users have produced in AI Overviews are more common. This shows that Google has again tended to use sources such as Reddit.
Finally, the ery of artificial ielligence ages can change the situation. Barclays analysts believe most ChatGPT users use it for non -commercial purposes, but the process may change. Google is also developing its own artificial ielligence ages, and if this technology is widely accepted, the future of searching for the Iernet may completely transform.
