Owing to large demand for Wacom digital pens, the company enjoys economies of scale. Wacom’s OEM partnerships is the key reason for the large demand of its digital pens. However, the other major players, including Anoto, are also trying to establish OEM partnerships, which is also reflected in its increased share in the recent past. Increasing investment of companies on interoperability is further expected to make the market competition intense during the coming years.
