5 Insights from the Art basel and UBS Global Art Market Report
The global art market has demonstrated continued resilience in the face of economic and geopolitical challenges. What factors drove this development? Which markets performed well? What new opportunities does it offer in 2023?
The Art basel and UBS Global Art Market Report 2023 provides a comprehensive macro-economic analysis of the state of the global art market in 2022.
The report examines the lingering effects of the pandemic and forecasts trends that could be seen entering this year. Co-published by Art basel and UBS, the report is authored by renowned cultural economist Dr. Clare McAndrew of Arts Economics.
Here we share five key findings from the report, which can be downloaded by clicking the download button. Global art sales continue to grow
Global art sales increased 3% year-on-year to an estimated $67.8 billion, the second year of growth after a strong recovery in sales of 31% in 2021, and bringing the market higher than its pre-pandemic level in 2019. The key driver of growth continued to be the high end of the market.
Leading markets: US, UK and China
The US retained its premier position in the global ranks, with its share of sales by value increasing by 2% year-on-year to 45%. The UK market moved back into second place with 18% of sales, and China’s share decreased 3% to 17%, falling back into third position.
Robust recovery for the US market
The US art market has seen one of the most robust recoveries of all the major markets. Sales bounced back strongly from the pandemic in 2021 and growth continued in 2022 bringing the market to $30.2 billion, its highest level to date.
Further reduction in online spending, but still higher than pre-pandemic
As live events ran on much fuller schedules and collectors began to reengage, both dealers and auction houses reported a further reduction in the share of their sales accounted for by e-commerce in 2022. Online-only sales fell to $11.0 billion, a decline of 17% from the 2021 peak of $13.3 billion, but still 85% higher than in 2019.
Female artists might boost sales
Having a very low share of representation of female artists was correlated with lower year-on-year sales growth performance for galleries, while those with a share of over 80% had higher than average growth of 21%. While there may be many factors that drive performance, the findings indicate again that having a higher share of women has not been a negative factor for sales in 2022, but having very few could be.
