- NFT supply expanded 25% while sales dropped 37% in 2025.
- Market cap fell sharply to $2.4 billion by year-end.
- Investors concerned over declining average NFT prices.
The NFT market in 2025 observes a sharp 37% decline in sales to $5.63 billion amid an oversupply, despite NFT quantities increasing by 25% to over 1.34 billion.
This decline reflects potential market saturation issues, significantly impacting the overall NFT market capitalization, which plummeted to $2.4 billion from $9.2 billion at the year’s start.
NFT Supply Surges 25% Amid 37% Sales Drop
The NFT market saw a substantial increase in supply, climbing to over 1.34 billion in 2025 from 1 billion last year. This marks an increase of 25%. Such a surge highlights a stark contrast with the broader market’s declining performance.
Sales plummeted by approximately 37% to $5.63 billion compared to $8.9 billion in the prior year. This coupled with the decrease in average NFT price to $96 from $124, points to potential oversupply and weakened demand.
Reactions from the community and market observers highlight concerns about the sustainability of this growth model. Investors and analysts warn of long-term implications if the demand side does not recover swiftly. According to a market analyst, “The overabundance of NFTs and declining sales could create a precarious situation for investors if market demand fails to rebound.”
