Our overall view of the art market in 2024 focuses on the positive growth of sales leading to a historic record number of transactions (+5%).<\/p>\n

Indeed, 2024 stands out as the most dynamic year in the history of the global art market, with 1.2 million works offered and 804,350 lots sold. The expansion of the market helped to counterbalance a significant contraction in high-value sales that resulted in a 33.5% decline in global auction turnover to just $9.9 billion<\/span>. Artprice has predicted and observed the gradual expansion of demand for art without interruption since 2000.<\/p>\n

According to thierry Ehrmann, President of Artmarket.com and Founder of Artprice, The expansion of the art market is the result of the spectacular growth of auction operators on the Internet with, on the one hand, a 720% increase in online marketing of auction sales, and on the other hand, ‘live’ sales which have increased by 210% worldwide since the COVID pandemic. Such growth figures were previously expected for around 2027-2029.<\/i><\/p>\n

The United States<\/span> <\/b>maintained their first place with 39% of the global art market by value.<\/p>\n

The European Union <\/b>(excluding the UK) is now world leader in the world in terms of the number of transactions and number 2 in terms of turnover with 18.5%, a share that corresponds to its rank as 3rd economic power in the world with a GDP of 16,970 billion in 2023.<\/p>\n

With a global market share of 18.4%, China<\/b> is practically on a par with the European Union (excluding the UK).<\/p>\n

Together, these three leading powers can be seen as the primary players in the soft power competition for control of the global art market, a competition in which China could easily make a strong comeback, as it has already demonstrated in the past by taking first place.<\/p>\n

The United Kingdom<\/span><\/b> maintained its third place on a country-by-country basis, by generating 15% of the global art auction turnover.<\/p>\n

France<\/span><\/b>\u00a0remained in fourth place, with 7% of global turnover, but it set three new records this year: a) it was 2nd in the world in terms of its transactions, just behind the USA<\/span>. b) Paris<\/span> was the 4th largest market place in the world, surpassing Beijing<\/span> & Shanghai<\/span>, and c) France<\/span> was 1st in Europe<\/span> in terms of auction turnover.<\/p>\n

When Artprice presented its 30th Annual Art Market Report (2024) to Mme\u00a0Rachida Dati, France’s<\/span> Minister of Culture,\u00a0this was her response:<\/b><\/p>\n

“I am delighted to see France<\/span> become the leading European art market. We owe this dynamism to the major international fairs, galleries, auction houses, our cultural institutions and of course our artists: it is all of these energies that we must bring together so that France<\/span> continues to attract and shine in the world.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Continuing its collaboration for the sixteenth consecutive year with its Chinese state partner the Artron group, Artprice by Artmarket \u2013 world leader in art market information \u2013 publishes the world’s most comprehensive art market report. The combination of Artprice and Artron ARAA’s data and analysis provides a truly global overview of the structural evolution and trends within the global Art Market.<\/p>\n

Among the many interesting features of the Report, you will find, as usual, Artprice’s famous rankings, including the Top 500 Artists by annual auction turnover in 2024 as well as the Top 100 art auction results in 2024. Both of these rankings focus on auction results generated by works of fine art, including NFTs & AI works and both rankings show the market’s growing appreciation of female artists.<\/p>\n

The art market’s switch to online activity is now a dominant trend on all 5 continents, gradually relegating physical auction rooms to the history of the 20th century.<\/p>\n

The art market’s switch to online activity is now a dominant trend on all 5 continents, gradually relegating physical auction rooms to the history of the 20th century.\u00a0While the global market of the 20th century was clearly a Western phenomenon, from now on, the Asia Pacific<\/span> region is playing on an equal footing with the West.<\/p>\n

After 28 years of activity, Artprice by Artmarket notes that\u00a0the average age of\u00a0its 9.3 million customers and members in 2024 was 39 compared with 63 in 1995.<\/p>\n

thierry Ehrmann, CEO of Artprice by Artmarket:<\/b><\/p>\n

“Artprice has spent the last two decades building and aligning its proprietary AI based on its Intuitive Artmarket AI \u00ae and ensuring that the impact of AI\u00a0on the art market respects the intangible and centuries-old rules of the market.<\/p>\n

Indeed, observing and inducing hundreds of millions of anonymized human interactions\u00a0with\u00a0the art market requires a great deal\u00a0of humility on the part of\u00a0Artprice as the\u00a0market is\u00a0by nature infinitely complex. This complexity is essentially due to the inherent heterogeneity and singularity of art, combined with fact that everyone has different definitions of abstract notions like\u00a0beauty or quality.”<\/p>\n

One of the oldest markets in the world, the art market is eliminating its backwardness compared with other economic sectors by moving ineluctably towards digital. And this development is allowing\u00a0the participation of a new generation \u2013 that of 30-45 year olds \u2013 who have been absent until now and who are now on permanent watch via mobile Internet.<\/p>\n
