Anthropic Gains Lead Over OpenAI In Enterprise Adoption

Industry Leaders In AI Clientele

Anthropic now has a larger share of verified business customers than OpenAI, according to new data from Ramp’s AI Index. The index, based on expense data from more than 50,000 companies, showed that 34.4% of participating businesses subscribed to Anthropic services, compared with 32.3% for OpenAI.

Significant Growth In Target Sectors

Ara Kharazian said Anthropic’s strongest adoption has come from sectors including finance, technology and professional services. According to Kharazian, Anthropic has maintained a lead within several high-adoption enterprise categories, while OpenAI’s market share has gradually declined in recent months. Despite the shift, OpenAI continues to hold strong positions across parts of the broader AI market.

Robust Data-Driven Insights

The survey, while representative of the subset of companies using Ramp services, spans a broad and diverse group, thereby lending credence to the emerging industry trend. Data from OpenRouter’s leaderboard further corroborates this pattern, with OpenAI last ranking above Anthropic in December 2025.

Strategic Execution And Future Prospects

Anthropic’s growth accelerated significantly over the past year. In May 2025, approximately 9% of businesses tracked by the index used Anthropic products. That figure increased by 26 percentage points over the following 12 months. During the same period, OpenAI’s share declined by 1%, despite overall AI adoption across businesses increasing by 9%. Kharazian attributed Anthropic’s growth to its enterprise-focused strategy and concentration on technical customers before expanding into broader business use cases through additional tools and services.

Web Summit 2026 Brings 70,000 Participants From 164 Countries To Lisbon

Around 70,000 people from 164 countries attended this year’s Web Summit in Lisbon, with China sending its largest delegation to the event so far. More than 50 representatives from the country’s artificial intelligence and robotics sectors took part, reflecting China’s growing presence in technologies reshaping manufacturing and services.

Founded in Dublin in 2009, Web Summit moved to Lisbon in 2016 and has since developed into one of Europe’s major technology conferences. The event brings together start-ups, investors and industry leaders, providing a platform for companies to present new technologies and explore business opportunities.

This year’s gathering also highlighted China’s expanding influence in the global technology industry, a trend noted by Web Summit founder Paddy Cosgrave.

Storm Charles Interrupts Conference Programme

The summit’s schedule was disrupted on November 11, when Storm Charles forced organisers to cancel activities for the day. The programme resumed on November 12, allowing the event to conclude as planned.

Despite the interruption, this year’s Web Summit highlighted several key developments shaping the technology sector, including advances in robotics and automation, intensifying international competition and continued demand for platforms connecting businesses with investors.

For Lisbon, the conference remains an important international technology gathering, bringing together companies and decision-makers while showcasing innovations moving towards commercial application.
