NEW YORK: OpenAI is projecting that its revenue will grow at a fast clip in the next few years and exceed US$280 billion in 2030, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The revenue forecast reflects OpenAI’s strong momentum in subscription sales for its AI software to consumers and businesses. OpenAI also recently began testing advertising for certain users, creating a new potential moneymaker for the company.
OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar recently said the company’s annualised revenue topped US$20 billion in 2025, up from roughly US$6 billion the year prior.
