Celsys’ Clip Studio Paint expects to gain more users and corporate value as the global animation market expands.

According to Netflix data, animation views in 2024  exceeded 1 billion worldwide, with dubbed versions in particular accounting for 80-90% of the total, indicating that Japanese animation has transcended language barriers to reach a global audience.

The growing popularity of animation encourages the rise of new creators, both professional and amateur, and helps expand the creator economy market. Clip Studio Paint is used by over 50 million people* for creating illustrations, comics, webtoons, and animations, with over 80% of the users from outside Japan, loved by artists of all levels. Celsys expects a steady increase in its user base and subscriptions due to the expansion of the creator economy market and the growth of the creator population.

By sponsoring pop culture events around the world, Celsys is continuously investing in improving the functionality and convenience of its products and strengthening its contact with creators. Coming out of the Japanese content boom globally, Clip Studio Paint supports the growth of creative industries and aims for sustainable growth.

* Includes free trial users and downloads of the iPad, iPhone, Galaxy, Android, and Chromebook versions.
