In January 2024, Yahoo! Search had a worldwide market share of **** percent. The search engine is powered by Microsoft's Bing. Neither of these web search providers comes close to the dominance of market leader Google.

As of March 2025, Google represented 79.1 percent of the global online search engine market on desktop devices. Despite being much ahead of its competitors, this represents the lowest share ever recorded by the search engine in these devices for over two decades. Meanwhile, its long-time competitor Bing accounted for 12.21 percent, as tools like Yahoo and Yandex held shares of over 2.9 percent each. Google and the global search market Ever since the introduction of Google Search in 1997, the company has dominated the search engine market, while the shares of all other tools has been rather lopsided. The majority of Google revenues are generated through advertising. Its parent corporation, Alphabet, was one of the biggest internet companies worldwide as of 2024, with a market capitalization of 2.02 trillion U.S. dollars. The company has also expanded its services to mail, productivity tools, enterprise products, mobile devices, and other ventures. As a result, Google earned one of the highest tech company revenues in 2024 with roughly 348.16 billion U.S. dollars. Search engine usage in different countries Google is the most frequently used search engine worldwide. But in some countries, its alternatives are leading or competing with it to some extent. As of the last quarter of 2023, more than 63 percent of internet users in Russia used Yandex, whereas Google users represented little over 33 percent. Meanwhile, Baidu was the most used search engine in China, despite a strong decrease in the percentage of internet users in the country accessing it. In other countries, like Japan and Mexico, people tend to use Yahoo along with Google. By the end of 2024, nearly half of the respondents in Japan said that they had used Yahoo in the past four weeks. In the same year, over 21 percent of users in Mexico said they used Yahoo.

In 2025 there were almost over 39,000 dollar stores in the United States. This was an increase of approximately 570 in comparison to the previous year, and more than 4,700 since 2021. Profitable years for dollar stores While many industries struggled in 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and difficult financial circumstances, dollar stores in the United States experienced significant growth. Discount department stores experienced falling sales as an industry from 2007 to 2020, but saw a massive rebound since 2021 when sales reached the highest levels since 2016. Dollar stores have fared better; revenues are estimated to have steadily grown since 2016. Dollar General sales The sales of Dollar General, one of the market leaders, reflect this pattern. In the fiscal year 2023, Dollar General's net sales amounted to approximately 38.7 billion U.S. dollars. The company’s sales have consistently grown since 2007, seeing the most significant year-on-year growth in 2020. This growth is understandable, considering that in 2023, Dollar General was the retailer with the most U.S. stores, followed by rival Dollar Tree.
