New startup ONGallery announced today that it is raising funds via an equity crowdfunding campaign on CrowdCube to complete the development of their revolutionary online art buying platform that aims to change the way that people buy art.
This comes as no surprise to online art specialists ONGallery, as the online art market is “exploding”! The internet offers the visual art market great opportunity for growth, and ONGallery is at the forefront of this revolution.
The global art market is currently estimated to be worth $100bn, which makes it larger than music, film or games; the online market is now worth $2.2bn and last year grew at an astounding 68%. The UK currently transact $22bn of this worldwide market.
Hiscox Online Art Trade Report (2015) predicts growth in online sales from $1.57bn in 2013 to $6.3bn by 2019.
This makes investing in ONGallery a low risk step. In the past couple of years’ millions of dollars have been invested in online sales platforms.
- 2013 Artspace received $8.5m (£5.2m) of investment
- Paddle8 received $6m (£3.6m) of investment – with investors including Damien Hirst and Jay Jopling.
- Vango raised $2.2m just last month.
In addition, in 2013, with launch of Amazon Art, the world largest online retailer, entered this space creating a marketplace for art galleries. ONGallery was accepted to be one of the Amazon Art handpicked sellers in September 2015.
