Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 23M in November 2024 to a high of 42M in December 2024, and stand at 14M in October 2026. Five sites take 76.9% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai video editor” is searched about 201,000 times a month worldwide, 16% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai video editor” until April 2023; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026. Americans make 16% of the searches but only 8.7% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, United Kingdom and Canada.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look like a slide.

The fastest growers over the year, WayinVideo, Motion and Flixier, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Async, lost most of their search visits (-100%).

Miles explains

Huge percentages like WayinVideo’s +6195% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be 3% fewer than October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a quieter month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 4 times.

The most visited is Filmora, with 4.5 million visits a month, 33% of all visits.

Filmora and VEED together hold 55% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 39 sites share 23.1%.

Filmora alone has 33% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
