Artmarket: Net Income Drops to 1K€, Firm Focuses on AI
Artmarket by Artprice announces its 2025 results with a slight increase in revenue to €8,497K, despite a challenging economic environment. However, net income fell to €1K, affected by restructuring operations and the absorption of a subsidiary, leading the group to fully focus on its proprietary artificial intelligences, Intuitive Artmarket and Blind Spot.
Revenue Growth Despite Macroeconomic Turbulence
Revenue stood at €8,497K as of December 31, 2025, up €138K from €8,359K in the previous year. This growth occurred in a particularly constrained context: persistent inflationary shock, sharp rise in interest rates, the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, and the extension of tensions in the Near and Middle East with global economic and financial repercussions. The global art market experienced a dynamic year in 2025, marked by a historic record of 1.28 million works auctioned and 867,000 works sold, reflecting a growth of 12% and a jump of 6.5% in the number of works sold. The United States consolidated its dominance with 42.3% of the global market, while China closely followed with 16% of the shares.
Net Result Slashed by Group Restructuring
The net result for the fiscal year stands at €1K as of December 31, 2025, down from €654K in 2024, marking a substantial decrease. This contraction stems entirely from healthy management operations according to the group: absorption by universal transfer of assets from the subsidiary The European Judicial Server (100%), generating a technical deficit of €494K recorded as financial expenses. The write-off of the American subsidiary Artprice Inc., deemed inactive, led to the removal of the net book value of the shares for €1,143K and the reversal of the related provision, complemented by the loss of the debtor current account for €850K. The overall impact of these two events on the financial result reached -€98K. The group specifies that excluding these restructuring operations, the recurring result would have been €143K. This transition to social accounts (end of IFRS standards application) frees up time and significant savings for the teams, allowing a focus on the research and development of proprietary artificial intelligences.
Proprietary AI at the Heart of the 2026-2031 Strategy
The group displays a clear intention to concentrate its efforts on Intuitive Artmarket® and Blind Spot®, two vertical artificial intelligences that have become global references in AI for the art market. These tools rely on 180 proprietary databases and exploit very high-value data for the 2026-2031 planning. Artmarket.com is also going on the offensive commercially with the launch in September 2025 of Artprice News®, the world's first news agency dedicated to art and its market, broadcast in 122 countries and in 11 languages. This platform reaches more than 7.5 million readers per month and is deeply integrated with Cision PR Newswire, X, and the proprietary AI solution. The group also strengthens its strategic partnership with Perplexity AI and has benefited from an audit by Google Gemini 3 Ultra Mode Deep Think validating its unique positioning as a reference vertical AI for the art market.
