Caviar Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis by Type (Ossetra, Beluga, Sevruga, and Others), by Form (Fresh, Dried, and Frozen), by Distribution Channel (B2B and B2C), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Caviar is fish roe or eggs from the sturgeon family. It is regarded as a delicacy and is frequently consumed raw as an appetizer. Caviar is now produced globally due to overfishing, but traditionally the most valuable varieties came from the Caspian and Black Sea. Caviar demand has increased owing to consumer desire for premium food products. The market is primarily driven by growing consumer knowledge of caviar’s significant health advantages and widespread use in the food industry. For instance, as per the National Institute of Health, Caviar is a well-known high-value seafood which serves for high level nutrient and vitamin supply. Consumers increase their spending on premium foods such as caviar due to rising per capita income in growing economies such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico.

Due to growing knowledge of the health advantages caviar offers to support a healthy neurological, circulatory, and immune system and being a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including omega-3, this food is becoming popular. Most consumers eat caviar due to its many health advantages, including providing minerals such as proteins, lipids, vitamin B12, and iron. It also improves the mental health of the customers, which is one of its other advantages. While the presence of omega-3 can improve skin health, caviar is rich in adiponectin, which aids in the healing of wounds. As a result of the numerous advantages of eating caviar, demand has increased and led to an increase in market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Caviar Market

The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the caviar market. Consumers favored a healthy diet and food over those made of chemicals. This occurred due to the consumer's attention directed towards preserving their health to minimize the virus's impact. The pandemic has positively aided the sales and demand for several fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) globally that come under the essential products in people's daily routines. Consumers rushed to shops to stockpile essential grocery items, leading to a spike in caviar sales in the initial months. For instance, one of the key players in the market, Sterling Caviar, projected a 10% increase in sales for 2021. However, the restrictions in public mobility and delay in transportation caused raw material shortages, negatively impacting the market performance.
