Bing Gained Much less Than 1% Market Share Since Including Bing Chat

It has been nearly a 12 months now since Microsoft launched Bing Chat (now referred to as Copilot) and Bing’s market share has solely grown lower than 1% in keeping with StatCounter. Most of you might not be shocked, since our ballot shared shortly after Bing Chat launched had most of you considering Bing won’t gain that much market share from this characteristic.

Bloomberg reported on the StatCounter information, saying, “However Microsoft’s search engine ended 2023 with simply 3.4% of the worldwide search market, in keeping with information analytics agency StatCounter, up lower than 1 share level because the ChatGPT announcement.”

They shared this chart:

I like the quote on the prime of the Bloomberg piece:

“All the search class is now going via a sea change,” Chief Govt Officer Satya Nadella mentioned on the time. “That chance comes only a few occasions.”

Do not get me flawed, I used to be tremendous impressed with the launch and the options however as I used it, I discovered myself going again to seek for most of what I would like.

It’s no shock why Bing won’t share Bing Chat data within Bing Webmaster Tools.

It’s only a disgrace however like I mentioned, I do not suppose most of you’re shocked. 60% of you thought that this might not result in greater than 5% market share development. Right here is that ballot from a number of months in the past:

I’m upset however perhaps Microsoft has one thing arising which may change this?

Discussion board dialogue at X.
