OpenAI's ad revenue forecast misses target by 90%, analysts say

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI's projected advertising revenue is significantly off-target, with analysts predicting a 90% shortfall compared to the company's own five-year forecast. While OpenAI anticipated $2.5 billion in ad revenue this year and $100 billion by 2030, eMarketer estimates the entire U.S. chatbot ad market will generate less than $1 billion this year and only $5.41 billion by 2030. This discrepancy suggests OpenAI's forecast relies on aggressive assumptions about capturing search ad budgets and dominating the chatbot ad market. AI
