New research: copywriting $53 B by 2033

You've heard it a hundred times:

"AI wiped out copywriters."

"No one's hiring writers anymore."

"What's the point of getting into copywriting if AI is here?"

Copywriting is cooked in 2026… or is it?

That’s what most people think.

But it turns out the exact opposite is true.

AI hasn’t wiped out copywriting.

It hasn’t slowed down demand.

And it’s not going away anytime soon.

New data shows AI has actually increased demand for copywriters in 2026

Wait…

What?

There’s no way tha—….

Yep!

New research shows the copywriting industry didn’t shrink this year.

In the same year we made the biggest leap in AI in history…

The copywriting industry GREW from $28 billion in 2025 to $31 billion in 2026

And… it’s on pace to reach $53 billion by 2033.

The industry is set to double in size in just 8 years!

That’s the money being paid out to copywriters like YOU!

Not only that, but there’s also been an increase in copywriting jobs.

Those are just a few stats of the state of copywriting in 2026.

I just put together a video breaking down how everyone got it wrong with AI.

And how AI has actually increased demand for copywriters…

…all based on real 2026 data.

P.S. The part that surprised even me is why AI is actually increasing demand for copywriters instead of killing it. That's in the video too. Don’t miss this one.
