The number of auction houses certified to hold cultural relic auctions in mainland China has grown significantly in the past decade. In 2021, 680 companies were holding permits to auction cultural relics, representing a growth of almost 170 percent from 2010. However, due to market fluctuations and the impact of COVID-19, fewer permit-carrying auction houses were holding auctions in 2020 and 2021 than in previous years.
