Expert Insight: Charting & Data Visualization Libraries Market Share & Momentum
Chart.js holds about 69% of the category, and everything above single digits is free.
Chart.js runs on roughly 304,000 of the 442,000 live sites where we detect a charting library, close to 69%, and the top five hold about 85%. The commercial products in this category are real but small: the largest of them sits near 5%, and 47 of the 55 libraries we track are under 1% each.
Free libraries take the top of the table
Chart.js holds about 69% of detected sites. Highcharts follows at roughly 5%, then ApexCharts at about 5% and D3 at 4%. Of those, only Highcharts carries a commercial licence for business use. This is a category where the default choice costs nothing, which changes what the share number means: the leader is not out-selling anyone, it is out-defaulting them.
The leader is also the fastest grower
Chart.js added roughly 5,900 domains over 90 days, more than the rest of the category combined, and it is already the leader. ApexCharts, TradingView and Recharts each added a few hundred. Nothing here is an onset except AgriCharts, a small vertical tool whose 90-day net equals its total footprint. A category leader still compounding at this share usually means the alternatives are not perceived as alternatives.
Ordinary turnover, with one real decline
Chart.js is down about 4,500 domains over the latest 30 days but up roughly 5,900 across 90, so the monthly figure is noise on a base of 304,000. The one clear loser is AntV G2, down about 1,000 domains over the quarter, which is a meaningful share of a library that size. Google Charts and Supersized are also negative on both windows.
The paid tools are not competing for the same page
Highcharts, amCharts, CanvasJS and ZingChart together hold under a tenth of the category, and their absence from the top is not a quality judgement. A commercial charting licence buys support, accessibility guarantees and features like Gantt and stock charts that a marketing page never needs. Chart.js wins the enormous population of sites that want one bar chart on one page. Reading this table as a competitive ranking will tell you the paid vendors are losing; reading it as a distribution of use cases tells you they were never in that fight.

Start from your own size, industry and primary use case rather than from share. Chart.js, Highcharts and ApexCharts.js are the three we detect most often in this category, which tells you what is common, not what fits you.
