According to data from analytics firm Apptopia, ChatGPT's global user growth has begun to slow down over the past month. Even though October is only halfway through, the app's global downloads have already decreased by 8.1% compared to September.

Apptopia reports that ChatGPT's new user growth – measured by the monthly change in downloads – has slowed since April, suggesting the app's global expansion may be reaching saturation.

This move is seen as a crucial step in the company's strategy to commercialize and expand its AI ecosystem.

In the US – OpenAI's key market – user engagement has also weakened significantly. The average time each user spends on the app daily has decreased by 22.5% since July, while the average number of sessions per user has also fallen by 20.7%.

These figures reflect a trend of users using ChatGPT less frequently, even though they still keep the app on their mobile devices.

Nevertheless, the American online technology news site TechCrunch emphasizes that ChatGPT still maintains a dominant position in the artificial intelligence (AI) application market. Despite the slowdown, the application still records millions of new installations every day globally, a number that very few technology platforms can achieve.

According to analysts, this slowdown is not necessarily a negative sign, but could be a "natural stabilization" phase after a period of explosive growth since OpenAI launched its ChatGPT mobile application.
