The Market, intersecting with the fishing, food & beverage, skincare, and pharmaceutical industries, revolves around the prized delicacy obtained from sturgeon.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers are exploring caviar extract for skincare products and nutraceutical applications, capitalizing on its high mineral content including iron and selenium.

The wide range of applications of caviar in households and restaurants is a key factor driving market growth. Caviar has long been popular in households and restaurants serving fine cuisine. This has increased demand for caviar, which tastes not only delicious but also has numerous nutritional benefits. This boosts caviar demand in the food and beverage industry.
The market has its roots not only in the food industry but also in the cosmetics and skincare industries. Caviar contains a high concentration of antioxidants, which moisturize, protect, and nourish the skin. It contains moisturizing omega-3 fatty acids, which help to improve skin texture. Caviar is increasingly being used in cosmetics to moisturize the skin and make it more elastic and silkier.
The growing prominence of aquaculture-grown sturgeon caviar will fuel the global market growth. As the population of wild sturgeon is declining due to its over-exploitation for processing, the players in the market are now resorting to the harvesting of sturgeon grown in aquaculture farms. The production of sturgeon in aquaculture farms is increasing due to the growing demand for products.
China dominates global sturgeon production via aquaculture, with a share of over 85%. Other prominent producers of aquaculture-farmed sturgeon are Russia and the EU. Caviar sales account for over 80% of the revenue in the sturgeon aquaculture industry. In terms of market share, the EU will be the largest producer of aquaculture-reared sturgeon caviar, followed by China. Hence, the rising prominence of aquaculture-grown sturgeon caviar is expected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The presence of substitute products is a major challenge to global market growth. The availability of substitute products is a challenge for the growth of the market. As the price of the products is very high and as they are not easily unavailable, consumers are increasingly turning to substitutes.
The original caviar is processed from the eggs of the sturgeon. Its substitutes are derived from the eggs of other fish, such as salmon, trout, paddlefish, and golden whitefish. The substitutes made from these fish varieties taste similar to the original caviar. Hence, the above-mentioned factors are expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
