Six months ago, Claude was a footnote in the generative AI traffic race. Today, it holds roughly one in eleven visits across the entire global market for AI web platforms.
According to Similarweb data, Anthropic’s Claude reached a 9.2% share of global generative AI website traffic as of June 2026, up from just 2.2% roughly six months prior. In raw numbers, that translates to approximately 952.6 million web visits in May 2026 alone.
Where Claude fits in a market still dominated by two giants
OpenAI’s ChatGPT commands 52.7% of the market. Google’s Gemini holds 27.8%. Together with Claude, those three platforms account for roughly 89% of all generative AI web traffic globally.
Everyone else is fighting over the remaining scraps. DeepSeek sits at 3.6%, xAI’s Grok at 2.5%, Microsoft’s Copilot at 2.0%, and Perplexity at 1.1%. Claude’s 9.2% makes it the clear third-place platform by a margin that is no longer close.
