The 2026 Overseas AI Search Landscape and B2B Lead-Generation Opportunities
Over the past two years, overseas AI search platforms have grown rapidly in users and have become a new entry point for B2B lead generation that cannot be ignored. Understanding the differences between platforms is the prerequisite for building a GEO strategy.
Major Platforms and B2B Penetration
- ChatGPT: 800 million global MAU, 38% B2B buyer usage rate—ideal for precise Q&A like "find a supplier for a specific product."
- Google Gemini: 350 million MAU, 45% usage rate, integrated with Google Search, can simultaneously boost SEO performance.
- Microsoft Copilot: 33 million MAU, 22% usage rate, favored by SME buyers, integrated with the office ecosystem.
- DeepSeek: 120 million MAU, 18% usage rate, suited to technical products, supports professional parameter queries.
- Perplexity: 18 million MAU, 15% usage rate, fast real-time updates, ideal for "find the latest supplier."
What Does High Stickiness Mean?
Amid a multi-player competitive landscape, 96% of users who try AI search keep using it. These platforms understand, integrate, and distill information to deliver synthesized answers directly to users, dramatically changing how information is obtained—which also means your brand information must appear in the answer to be seen.
How Should Exporters Position Themselves?
Tailor content to each platform's characteristics: ChatGPT favors scenario-based descriptions, Gemini favors data support and Google ecosystem relevance, DeepSeek suits technical parameters, and Perplexity emphasizes real-time freshness. This is exactly the starting point of Haoke's "multi-platform customized training strategy."
