Incredible frequency of ChatGPT usage - astonishing data uncovered
The artificial intelligence (AI) bot, ChatGPT, has seen a significant surge in popularity since December 2024, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The platform, which performs tasks such as writing texts, analyzing documents, and creating content, is now used by over 500 million people weekly and processes approximately 1.7 million user requests every minute.
In late 2024, monthly visits to ChatGPT were about 4.8 billion, but by July 2025, this increased to approximately 5.2 billion, marking a growth of about 10.6%. Weekly active users doubled from 400 million to 800 million in early 2025, and daily active users reached over 122 million, with more than 1 billion queries processed daily by mid-2025.
The user base is global and diverse, with ChatGPT accessible in over 95 languages and used in more than 195 countries. The United States leads with 19% of users, followed by India (7%), Brazil (5%), Canada (3.57%), and the UK (3.48%). Notably, 92% of Fortune 500 companies use ChatGPT in various capacities, demonstrating its deep penetration in the enterprise market.
Predictions for the future user base and impact of ChatGPT are optimistic. Total revenue from ChatGPT was about USD 3.7 billion in 2024 and is projected to rise to USD 10 billion by mid-2025. Forecasts suggest an astronomical growth to USD 125 billion by the end of 2029. The platform is expected to continually expand its user base, both in individual users and industries, with the top sectors for AI-assisted purchasing including travel, retail, IT services, and healthcare.
The sustained growth is attributed to ongoing product innovations and growing adoption across professional and demographic groups, particularly among postgraduates and professionals aged 25-34. It is estimated that by the end of 2025, the number of ChatGPT users will reach 1 billion, meaning that one in eight people on the planet will regularly use artificial intelligence in their daily lives.
Despite its growing popularity, it's worth noting that Google processes approximately 14 billion queries daily, significantly more than ChatGPT. However, the impact of ChatGPT on various sectors and individual lives cannot be underestimated, as it continues to revolutionize the way we interact with technology.
