# 2025 in review: how AI changed the domain business

January 5, 2026 · Summary of an article by Andrew Allemann, Domain Name Wire

The .ai aftermarket kept growing in 2025, despite predictions a year earlier that it would collapse. On the other side, AI answers are cutting traffic to content sites, while easier app building could raise demand for names.
