XP-PEN (stylised as XPPen) is a graphics tablet development and distribution company, originally established in Japan in 2005 [1] by Taiwanese manufacturer P-Active and now headquartered in Shenzhen, China, with a research and development office in California, United States. In 2019, XP-PEN became a holding subsidiary of Hanvon Ugee Group, a graphics tablet manufacturer who, like XP-PEN, also is headquartered in Shenzhen, China, and specializes in the development of graphics tablets, pen display monitors, light pads, stylus pens and digital graphical products. In 2022, XP-Pen was rebranded to further consolidate its global brand image and better serve worldwide users.[2]
In July 2017, they took part in the 25th Anime Expo in Los Angeles, and in October that year they also exhibited in Stan Lee Comic Con during the Halloween weekend and in December were invited to the DreamWorks campus in Glendale California.[3][4][5]
As of 2022, it is the second largest pen tablet market in Japan after Wacom, with a market share of 5.2%.[6]
