Google market share

These revenue figures come as no surprise, as Google accounts for the majority of the online and mobile search market worldwide. As of January 2023, Google was responsible for more than 84 percent of global desktop search traffic. The company holds a market share of more than 80 percent in a wide range of digital markets, having little to no domestic competition in many of them. China, Russia, and to a certain extent, Japan, are some of the few notable exceptions, where local products are more preferred.
