The global art market returned to growth in 2025, with sales rising 4% to an estimated $59.6 billion. After two years of decline, the increase signals a modest recovery across both dealer galleries and auction houses.

The United States (44%), United Kingdom (18%), and China (14%) remained the three largest markets, together accounting for 76% of global art sales.

More art is being sold in India than before, often at record prices.
Strong economic growth is supporting the market, though buyers remain focused on established names.
