Mergers: Commission opens in-depth investigation into the proposed acquisition of Figma by Adobe

The European Commission is launching a thorough investigation into Adobe's proposed acquisition of Figma under the EU Merger Regulation. The inquiry focuses on potential competition concerns in the global markets for interactive product design software and digital asset creation tools.

date:  31/08/2023

The preliminary examination suggests that the merger could harm competition in these areas, particularly due to Figma's market leadership and competitive strength. The investigation will delve deeper to ascertain if these concerns are substantiated. 

The Commission will collaborate with other competition authorities during the process. The proposed acquisition was submitted on June 30, 2023, and the Commission has until December 14, 2023, to reach a decision.
