The projected growth in the art crowdfunding market is expected to be driven by the expansion of online art marketplaces. Online art marketplaces serve as digital platforms where artists can directly sell their artworks to buyers, providing a global audience for artists and a convenient space for art transactions. The growth of these online art marketplaces enables artists to showcase their ideas, engage with a worldwide community of art enthusiasts, and secure financial support from diverse backers, thus broadening funding options for artistic projects. For example, a report by Hiscox Ltd. in April 2023 indicated that online art sales reached $10.8 billion in 2022, marking a 6% increase from $10.2 billion in 2021. The online art market's share of total art sales in 2022 accounted for 15.9%. Consequently, the expansion of online art marketplaces is a driving force behind the growth of the art crowdfunding market.
The anticipated growth in the art crowdfunding market is expected to be fueled by the expanding education sector. The education sector, encompassing formalized processes of knowledge, skill, and cultural awareness dissemination, can leverage art crowdfunding in innovative ways to promote creativity, community engagement, and financial support for artistic pursuits. A report from the University of Technology Sydney in July 2023 revealed that secondary education attainment in the United States reached 28%, while the UK saw a 73.2% GCSE pass rate in 2022. In Australia, over 3.95 million students were enrolled in both public and private schools as of 2021. Consequently, the growing education sector plays a pivotal role in propelling the growth of the art crowdfunding market.
