After originally starting out in 1994 to provide a way for large animation companies such as Disney to become more efficient, Toon Boom realized growth in the professional market was limited. So, two years later, the company focused on emerging markets and pioneered the animation business in India by setting up schools to train students to be employed by North American studios. The company has now exported its business model to every continent, and international business makes up 95% of its profits, 45% of which comes from Asia. In 2003, it made a big push to simplify its software, focusing on the online and educational market, which it predicts will grow from the current 45% to make up to 70% of its business in the next five years.

It’s highly important to secure the niche and grow it as much as possible.” Seventeen years ago Disney was looking for an alternative to its in-house software, and Toon Boom developed something to suit its needs.
