Key findings of The Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report 2024 include:

Global Sales: In 2023, global art market sales adjusted to an estimated USD 65 billion, showcasing resilience despite a slowdown of 4% year-on-year and surpassing pre-pandemic 2019 levels of USD 64.4 billion. Although factors such as high interest rates, inflation, and political instability contributed to slowing growth at the top end of the market, there was a notable 4% increase in transaction volume, totaling USD 39.4 million.

This growth in buyer activity was particularly pronounced at lower price levels, creating a more buoyant trade environment for dealers and auction houses in these segments of the market.

Leading Markets: The US preserved its leading position in the global art market, accounting for 42% of sales by value, down 3% year-on-year. China surpassed the UK as the second-largest global art market with its share rising to 19%, while the UK fell back to third place with a 17% share. France retained its position as the fourth-largest art market at 7% of global sales.

Outlook: Looking ahead to 2024, 36% of dealers expected an uptick in sales, while 48% expected turnover to remain stable, and 16% predicted a decline. Compared to the end of 2022 when the smallest dealers expressed the most optimism, in 2023 the largest dealers were most hopeful, with 54% expecting an increase.

The effects of political and economic uncertainty were ranked as the biggest challenge by most dealers, followed by a focus on maintaining relationships with existing clients – a priority echoed since 2020. In the auction sector, optimism was relatively high for 2024, with 38% of the mid-tier auction houses surveyed expecting an improvement in sales, while only a small fraction (4%) predicted a drop in their own sales – a significant decrease from 24% in 2022.
