生成式AI应用市场在2025上半年延续爆发式增长,全球下载量逼近17亿次,环比增长67%;内购收入达19亿美元,环比翻倍,标志着自ChatGPT引爆热潮后的第二轮增长浪潮。这一波增长主要由Meta AI、Grok等科技巨头入局驱动,与ChatGPT、Gemini等既有玩家形成激烈竞争,推动UA(用户获取)成本与投放策略持续演变。
从区域格局看,北美市场早期贡献20%下载份额,但到2025上半年已降至11%,而亚洲市场凭借印度和中国大陆的快速增长,下载量环比攀升80%,远超欧洲(51%)和北美(39%)。然而,北美仍以7.62亿美元内购收入(环比+74%)稳居收入首位,ChatGPT在其中占据63%的绝对优势。拉美、中东和欧洲的收入环比分别增长147%、131%和121%,表明LTV(用户生命周期价值)和ROAS(广告支出回报率)在这些新兴市场存在显著提升空间,为广告主提供了跨区域增量提效的机会。
头部应用表现分化明显:ChatGPT以4.7亿次下载量(约为第二名DeepSeek的3.7倍)和超12倍的收入优势保持领先,其MAU约为Adobe Acrobat Reader和Gemini的两倍。DeepSeek虽然在首六个月内凭借亚洲、中东和非洲的增长成为下载量最大的新应用,但收入和MAU仍与ChatGPT差距较大。Grok和Meta AI亦表现活跃,但市场对AI聊天机器人的整体需求已远超早期阶段,截至2025年6月,ChatGPT历史总下载量达9.4亿次,Gemini为2亿次,DeepSeek为1.27亿次。这一格局提示广告主在UA投放时需重点关注头部应用的归因分析(如SKAN、MMP数据)与激励视频等广告变现策略的适配性。

The open internet presents unique challenges for performance advertising: fragmented identity, closed first-price auctions, and non-stationary supply. Moloco's CARA compound architecture tackles this with six integrated technical domains—Campaign Automation, Supply, Ad Recommendations, Bidding, Creative, and Signals—running on a unified ML infrastructure. Key insights for ad ops: the system continuously learns from every interaction, uses knowledge distillation to serve real-time predictions under 10ms latency, and validates improvements through rigorous live experiments. In 2025, 65 validated model updates reduced CPA by 17% and improved ROAS by 27%. The key takeaway: compound AI architectures that connect prediction, bidding, creative, and data can unlock measurable performance gains beyond walled gardens.

AI assistants are becoming integral to daily routines, with ChatGPT users averaging 13 monthly sessions, rivaling platforms like X and Reddit. While Google remains dominant for information seeking (18 days/month), ChatGPT's use cases are diversifying, with lifestyle and entertainment prompts rising from 22% to 35% of total in one year. Work and education still account for 60% of prompts, but growth in niche categories signals expanding consumer comfort. For ad ops, this indicates opportunities for targeted campaigns across varied use cases and the importance of integrating AI into digital strategies.
