Competitor Analysis:

Adobe's competitors include Microsoft, Autodesk, Corel, and Apple.

Autodesk is also a significant competitor, with its computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D modeling software. Corel and Apple are competitors, with their graphics software, such as CorelDRAW and Final Cut Pro. Adobe's main advantage is its dominant market position in the creative industry
