commercial value

Worth in trade

Commercial value is the worth of something measured by what it can fetch in the marketplace.

A painting may have sentimental value to its owner but little commercial value if no one will buy it.

The term often distinguishes market price from other kinds of worth—artistic, historical, or personal: The letters have enormous historical significance but minimal commercial value.
