In 2021, due to the impact of COVID-19, only around one-third of the 680 auction companies eligible for trading cultural relics in China held at least one auction. Although a growing number of permits for auctioning cultural relics were issued by the National Cultural Heritage Administration in the past decade, the number of companies auctioning cultural relics never surpassed 300 in China and was in a declining trend since 2014.

In mainland China, companies holding cultural relic auctions must be centrally certified by the National Cultural Heritage Administration in Beijing. Permits are not granted to foreign auction houses.
