Search Engine Market Share in 2021
Handling over 90 percent of all search queries worldwide, Google is undoubtedly dominating the global search engine market share.
As of June 2021, a whopping 92.6 percent of all search queries conducted across all search engine providers are done through the internet giant. In other words, more than nine out of ten internet users who search for information online do so through Google.
By comparison, its closest rivals, Microsoft’s Bing and Yahoo, are only managing a fraction of Google’s volume. Bing and Yahoo’s market shares currently come in at 2.3 percent and 1.54 percent respectively for a total of less than 5 percent. These search engines are not nearly close enough to challenge Google’s domination.
China’s leading search engine, Baidu, has a market share of 1.28 percent, while Russia’s Yandex comes in at 0.68 percent. Both Baidu and Yandex are some of the world’s top search engines.
With such figures, there is no question that the current search engine market share worldwide is dominated by Google. And Google is also, in fact, seeing quite a similar lead in the United States.
Don’t wait for someone else to do it. Hire yourself and start calling the shots.
