In 2023, global exports of caviar made from fish roe reached an estimated value of $497.2 million USD.

This figure reflects a 12.1% increase from 2019's total of $443.7 million, although it marks a 1.9% decline from the $506.6 million recorded in 2022.

Out of the 2023 total, $213.4 million—equivalent to 42.9%—was attributed to traditional caviar, which is crafted from the roe of wild sturgeon species typically found in the Caspian Sea and Black Sea. This share rose from 39.2% in the previous year.

Meanwhile, caviar alternatives made from the eggs of non-sturgeon fish generated about $283.8 million, which is roughly 1.3 times the revenue of traditional caviar. Despite this higher total, traditional caviar maintains a much higher market value, selling at an average $232,988 per ton, compared to $18,832 per ton for non-sturgeon-based products—12.4 times more expensive per ton.
