Artsy, a major online platform for buying, selling and learning about art, has released the report [Art Market Trends 2025,](https://partners.artsy.net/resource/art-market-trends-2025/?utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fsource=editorial&utm%5Fcampaign=b2b-2025-04-report-art-market-trends-edit&utm%5Fsfc=701hu000001jeofiaa) based on more than 1,600 responses from collectors and gallerists in 60 countries. The main findings:

🖋 **52% of collectors doubt that art prices are justified.** Prices for art are often perceived as arbitrary or speculative. More than half of collectors question whether the market's pricing is adequate.

🖋 **69% of collectors have at least once declined to buy because of a lack of transparency in the art market.** Murky pricing and provenance have become a serious barrier to purchase, especially for younger collectors.

**🖋** **Only 44% of galleries publish prices for all their works.** Although 62% of galleries acknowledge that transparency matters to their clients, most still act in the "old school" manner: the price is disclosed only on request. The reason is the traditional fear of losing flexibility in negotiations and of diminishing the value of a work by displaying it openly. Artsy itself sells art with visible prices roughly six times more often.

🖋 **30% of collectors became more selective in 2024\.** Economic factors (stagnating growth, geopolitics, high interest rates) are affecting buyers' behaviour. Collectors buy on impulse less often, compare more and put off their decisions. Only 7% of those surveyed bought more in 2024 than in 2023.

🖋 **59% of collectors bought art online in 2024\.** The digitalisation of the art market continues: collectors, the young especially, are growing accustomed to buying online and increasingly discover artists through social media. About 43% of galleries said that in the near future they plan to focus more on online sales.
