Generative artificial intelligence is still a recent technology, but it is already part of our daily lives. In an article published this week, Techcrunch relays Sensor Tower data on the evolution of this market in the first six months of 2025. And the figures are impressive.
Downloads explode, income too
Over this six -month period, Internet users have downloaded generative artificial intelligence applications 1.7 billion times, against 1 billion downloads during the last six months of 2024. During this period, these applications generated a total income of $ 1.87 billion, or double the income generated in the second half of 2025.
Obviously, the market is dominated by Chatgpt. Indeed, in all the countries studied, except China, the Openai chatbot is the one that generates the most income on its application. On the other hand, people spend more time on chatbots and, there too, Chatgpt would be in the lead. According to Techcrunch explanations, people now use Chatgpt as much as they use X or Reddit. And, compared to last year, people would use Chatgpt during weekends, which means that the use of AI is no longer limited to professional uses.
AI is now everywhere
Chatgpt has indeed become a daily tool, since, according to the data from Sensor Tower, during the first half of 2025, a user spent an average of 16 minutes per day on the app. And this is close to the average time that Internet users spend, by day, on the search engine and the most popular browser. In addition, more than a third of prompts would be linked to subjects such as lifestyle or entertainment, and not to serious subjects.
In addition, in addition to being accessible on dedicated chatbots, artificial intelligence invites itself everywhere. Sensor Tower has analyzed application descriptions and indicates that the term “AI” appears more than 100,000 times in these descriptions, on the App Store and on Google Play Store. On the other hand, people would have downloaded the apps that mention artificial intelligence 7.5 times in the first six months of the year.
- Thanks to a Sensor Tower study, we have figures on the evolution of the AI market in 2025
- Chatbots like Chatgpt would have been downloaded 1.7 billion times in the first six months of the year and their income would have doubled compared to those of the last six months of 2024
- The study also shows that chatgpt and similar tools become everyday tools
- The average time spent on Chatgpt by its users is close to the average time spent on the browser and the most popular search engine
