Prediction: Microsoft Will Double Its Paid Copilot Seats in the Next 12 Months

Microsoft's paid Copilot seats reached 30 million by June 2026, growing from 20 million in March. The analyst predicts the company will reach 60 million seats by June 2027, requiring a slower growth pace than recent quarters. Microsoft's rebuilt Copilot app integrating Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, combined with a large addressable market of 450+ million Microsoft 365 commercial seats, supports this outlook. Copilot is already boosting revenue per user despite increased infrastructure costs.
