Art Logistics - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)
Market Report I 2025-04-28 I 190 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Art Logistics Market size is estimated at USD 3.61 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 4.65 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
The art logistics market is mainly driven by factors such as an increase in investment in high-value art pieces.
The art market has showcased remarkable resilience in the face of global disruptions. Despite setbacks from major economic challenges, such as the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, it has consistently bounced back. Following a 22% decline at the onset of the pandemic, the global art market swiftly rebounded the next year, culminating in its second-highest value in 2022. Although the growth plateaued in 2023, global art sales still surpassed 2019 levels, reaching a notable USD 65 billion.
For the past decade, the United States has consistently dominated the global art market, with China and the United Kingdom following closely behind. In 2023, these three nations collectively accounted for nearly 80% of the market's sales. When specifically examining public auction revenues for fine art and NFTs worldwide, the United States and China emerged as the primary contenders, with a narrower gap separating them in the fine art auction arena.
Two London-based auction houses, Christie's and Sotheby's, both established in the 18th century, stand out as the market leaders. Christie's, after achieving a record high in 2022, saw a notable 26% decline in its global sales in 2023, settling at approximately USD 6 billion. In contrast, Sotheby's experienced a marginal drop of less than 1.5%, with its 2023 sales just shy of USD 8 billion. Following closely in 2023, Heritage Auctions, Bonhams, and Phillips emerged as the top revenue-generating auction houses, each with sales below USD 2 billion.
Art Logistics Market Trends
Rising Art Values Propel Demand for Specialized Transportation Services
As the value of art rises, so does the need for specialized logistics services to ensure its safe transport and storage. Art collectors, recognizing the value of their pieces, are increasingly willing to pay for these services. With collectors and galleries engaging in global art transactions, there is a surging demand for logistics providers adept at navigating the complexities of international art transport. This demand is further fueled by collectors often needing to relocate their collections for exhibitions or new environments. Highlighting this trend, in February 2023, the Director of the Indian Art Fair noted how the expanding scope and diversity of art in India and South Asia underscore the growth of the modern art logistics market.
Private collectors, particularly during transport in climate-controlled settings, demand meticulous care for their artworks. This heightened demand for top-tier service has spurred the rise of specialized fine art logistics firms.
Asia-Pacific Emerges as a Lucrative Hub for Art Logistics Services
The art logistics market in Asia-Pacific is witnessing substantial growth, driven by a maturing exhibition sector. This evolution has prompted art logistics companies to consolidate and standardize, enabling them to cater to the rising demand for reliable and professional art transport services. As the Asia-Pacific art market expands, fueled by a heightened interest in art acquisition and resale, the importance of efficient art transport, storage, and handling is paramount.
To address these demands, art logistics firms offer specialized transport and safekeeping services tailored to the unique needs of valuable artworks. Illustrating this growth, the India Art Fair 2023 featured 85 exhibitors and 71 galleries, showcasing a diverse array of contemporary, modern, and digital art from India and South Asia. The fair attracted not only exhibitors and galleries but also various institutions, underscoring the regional significance of the art logistics market. Notably, the event saw the active participation of Indian and international galleries, further emphasizing the market's prominence.
With the rise of online galleries and expanding e-commerce in the region, the demand for art logistics services is poised to surge. Asia-Pacific is witnessing substantial investments in the construction of new museums and art galleries, signaling a push to create fresh business avenues. Consequently, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to dominate the art logistics market in the coming years.
