The ranks for the main search terms are similar.
Although my site is in English, over 50% of visitors are from outside the US. Bing doesn't really have the global reach of Google.
For example I get 250 times as much traffic from India with Google rather than Bing, 1000 times as much in Indonesia. Compared to 36 times as much in the US (which is much closer to the ratio of the other sites, which may be more US-focused).
It's probably a bit harsh to call Bing a "local US search engine" (like Baidu and Yandex in their countries), but it certainly needs to get more market share in other countries to compete globally.
