OIMAP key figures

The key figures fall into three families: economic indicators of the market, protection statistics from the BIOP, and indicators of the Organization's activity, such as training and disputes.

Each has a dedicated page in this section, with its definitions and limitations.

Official values are finalized at the end of the year for the financial year just ended and presented to the General Assembly. The 2024 data serve as the current reference: 8,940 officials trained, 847 works restituted, 360 accredited experts and 23 coordinated operations.

Between two publications, only the open data, updated quarterly on an indicative basis, change.

Any reuse must mention OIMAP, the nature of the indicator and the year. For example: "Global art and heritage market, €67.8 billion in 2024 (OIMAP)".

The open datasets may be freely reused, according to the licence stated on the relevant page.

An aggregate figure masks local realities. Regional shares, for example, say nothing about the internal structure of each national market. Readers should always refer to the methodological note.

The Organization also specifies that comparing different years requires taking into account the annual revisions of the series.

In-depth analyses can be found in the Market section. Protection statistics are detailed in the Protection section.
