The global art market has returned to growth for the first time in three years, according to a comprehensive report released by UBS Group AG and Art Basel. Following a 4% increase in sales to an estimated $59.6 billion in 2025, the industry is showing signs of increased confidence. Approximately 43% of art dealers now anticipate a rise in turnover for 2026, compared to just 33% who held that view a year earlier.
