Market demand
2Is the AI video tools market growing in 2026?

WorldVisits a month to AI video tools sites, worldwide
Miles explains
I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are level, so they don’t agree yet.
Search trends
3How many people search for AI video tools in 2026?
“ai video tools” is searched about 9,900 times a month worldwide, 19% of it in the US.
Google Trends barely registered “ai video tools” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in March 2026. Americans make 19% of the searches but only 11.3% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Brazil and Canada.

WorldGoogle Trends interest in "ai video tools", worldwide (0–100)
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.
Monthly analysis
4What changed in the AI video tools market in October 2026?
Fewer visits than a year ago, name searches holding steady, and the next six months look like a slide.
The fastest growers over the year, Camb.ai, WayinVideo and MindVideo AI, each grew several times over, usually from a small base. The losers, led by Async, lost most of their search visits (-100%).

Growing fastest, year on year

WayinVideo+6195%
MindVideo AI+1922%
Miles explains
Huge percentages like Camb.ai’s +33102% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.
Monthly forecast
5What happens next for AI video tools?
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.
- Expected in November 2026
- 558,752,251 visits
- Likely range
- 477M to 641M
- Expected in May 2027
- 520M -10%

Most-visited AI video tools sites, October 2026
Share of all visits from Google. Traffic, not quality. 12 more listed tools are not measured here: 6 are not in the monthly data pull yet, 1 is measured in the category of its main product, 4 sit on shared domains whose traffic is not their own and 1 lives on a domain whose traffic is mostly another product.
Miles explains
Adobe alone has 43% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
Download the data
7Can I download the AI video tools data?
Yes. Every number on these pages comes from two CSV files, free to download.
sites.csv has one row per site: its Google US position for “ai video tools”, Tranco rank, Chrome UX tier, visits from Google worldwide and in the US, name searches, Domain Rating and referring domains, with the month each figure covers. market.csv has the monthly totals across the tracked sites: visits worldwide and in the US, name searches and referring domains. Blanks mean the source had no figure, never zero.
