AI-powered tools are the trend and also the excuse for many companies to sell their new products. This frantic race started a couple of years ago with the launch of ChatGPT, which reached 100 million users in just two months, and quickly expanded to other horizons. Also with the release of each new version this chatbot becomes more and more precise and complete, as happened with ChatGPT-4o.
However, Have you ever wondered where ChatGPT is used the most? This question was asked to a consulting firm and this is what they found out: we present to you theThe 21 Countries That Use ChatGPT Most in the World.
India leads comfortably with 45%, but Spain doesn’t even make the world rankings
The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) team recently released its “Global Consumer Confidence Survey 2023‘. It talks about many consumer tools, but one of its sections addresses ChatGPT usage across the planet.
The survey was conducted between August and September 2023, although it has not been published so far. Furthermore, it was applied to 21,000 people around the world, a fairly small sample for such a large universe (the entire human population), but The results are very interesting..
According to BCG, The 21 countries where ChatGPT is most used are as follows (you can see the infographic above for more visual details):
- India: 45%.
- Morocco: 38%.
- United Arab Emirates: 34%.
- Argentina: 32%.

- France: 18%.
- Germany: 18%.

India comfortably leads the top 21 with 45% of the interviewees agree to use this chatbot. This tells us this Almost one in two people rely on the OpenAI toolso its use is widespread in the Asian country. The second place is occupied by Morocco with 38% of use among the interviewees and the United Arab Emirates close the podium with 34%.
If you are wondering, Spain unfortunately does not enter the top positions and we do not know in what position it would be. However, The Spanish-speaking country that appears first is Argentina in fourth place, with 32% of use among respondents. While, The European country that uses ChatGPT the most is Swedenwith 27% and in ninth place.
Now let’s analyze some more data because the study offers other interesting data about this chatbot.
What percentage of people have heard of ChatGPT in the global top 21?
Were you surprised that ChatGPT is used so much in some countries? Then you’ll have to lift your jaw off the ground when you see How many people have heard about ChatGPT in the same global top.
The result is surprising, because between 67% and 93% of respondents say they have heard of it on the OpenAI tool at some point. Many may not use it, but they certainly know what it is.
This summit is once again led by India with 93% awarenessfollowed by the United Arab Emirates with 91% and South Korea with 88%. Meanwhile, the countries where ChatGPT is less known (even if they are the first in use) are: Sweden with 67% and the United Kingdom with 72%.
The image that opens this section details the data a little more. In addition, to conclude we will briefly discuss some of the conclusions reached by BCG with this study.
Younger countries are using AI tools like ChatGPT more
According to the consulting firm, there is a correlation between the average age of each country and the use of ChatGPT which leads to the following conclusion:Countries with younger populations use AI-based tools more.
This is something that makes a lot of sense, even from the youngest They are more familiar with the use of new technologies than the older ones. Therefore, it will be easier for them and they will have a better view of using ChatGPT and other advanced tools.
Moreover, in countries like India there is another very important factor why they are so high on the lists: the large number of people working in areas related to Information Technology (IT)which makes them even more likely to use these tools. This brings us to another of the study’s conclusions: the use of ChatGPT, which can be very different among the top 21 countries in the world.
For example, In India, China, Thailand and the Philippines the main use is for research or as a virtual personal assistant. Meanwhile, in countries like the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom or Germany, ChatGPT is mainly used for “playing”. That is, they use it for mere entertainment and for trivial topics.
The reason for this type of use? According to BCG, the level of digital economic competitiveness of each countrywhich in the first group (India and company) is much larger than in the second (USA and others).
