Adobe: creative software expanding into documents and digital marketing
Adobe’s products are used to create images, video and documents, then to manage the digital content and customer experiences businesses publish.
The company
What it does
Adobe Inc. develops subscription software for creative work, digital documents and customer-experience management. Its products serve individual creators, businesses and institutions, with cloud delivery central to its model.
Across markets
Adobe reported $25.2 billion in Digital Media annual recurring revenue at the end of fiscal 2025. Tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and Premiere are embedded in creative and office workflows around the world. Generative AI is changing how these products work and raising questions about training data, attribution and the future of creative labour; adoption and revenue do not answer those questions by themselves.

What the record tells us
Adobe’s reach comes from software that has become part of the working toolkit for designers, publishers and everyday document users. GCEIP sees its next test in how it adds generative tools while sustaining trust among creators whose work helps train or inform digital systems. The company’s scale makes product choices consequential well beyond its own customer base.
