Positive and underpenetrated. India's art auction market reached ₹301 crore in 2024 (19% year-on-year growth), UHNI collector estates are an expanding source of succession-related valuation mandates, and fine-art insurance adoption is rising as wealth concentrates in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. The credentialed practitioner pool (IBBI RV for movable assets with art expertise) is very thin, creating a structural supply gap for formal IVRs. The principal ceiling is market size — India's appraisal market will grow but remain a small-field profession dominated by a few dozen credentialed specialists and a larger informal advisory tier.
