Global Expansion Reaches 89 Countries
According to official updates from [OpenAI News](https://openai.com/index/chatgpt-ads-expands-26-new-countries/), ChatGPT Ads is expanding to 26 additional countries, pushing total availability to 89 nations worldwide. This latest international rollout builds upon previous expansions across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan.
The platform has experienced significant traction since its initial rollout. In the eight months since launch, more than 100,000 advertisers—ranging from local small businesses to global brands—have run advertising campaigns on [ChatGPT](https://openai.com/news/?tags=chatgpt).
New Markets Across Latin America, EMEA, and Asia
Following previous launches in Mexico and Brazil, the platform is now bringing advertisements to 14 additional Latin American countries, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru.
Furthermore, the expansion introduces ad capabilities to multiple markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Newly added nations include Nigeria, South Africa, Serbia, Ukraine, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
Subscription Tiers and Privacy Guardrails
OpenAI states that advertising plays a role in supporting free and low-cost access to the artificial intelligence platform for users globally. To maintain user experience, ads will appear exclusively on the Free and Go plans, while Plus, Pro, and Enterprise subscriptions will remain entirely ad-free.
To protect consumer trust, the company adheres strictly to established [ads principles](https://openai.com/index/our-approach-to-advertising-and-expanding-access/). User conversations remain private from advertisers, customer data is never sold, and advertisements are clearly labeled and separated from AI-generated responses.
Contextual Discovery for Businesses and Users
With more than 1.2 billion people using the AI service each week to explore ideas, compare options, and make decisions, ads serve as a discovery tool. When users converse with the AI—such as planning meals or organizing daily schedules—relevant ads can introduce them to services they might not have otherwise found.
For local businesses and international companies alike, this format provides a way to connect with consumers during moments of consideration when choices are still actively being evaluated.
Access and Future Development Plans
Advertisers in the newly added countries can access the platform through technology partners or by utilizing self-service access via [Ads Manager ](https://ads.openai.com/).
As the network continues to scale in [2026](https://openai.com/news/?tags=2026), upcoming development phases will introduce additional ad formats, campaign objectives, advanced buying options, and expanded measurement capabilities.
