Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'market' (commerce/trade context) combined with 'value' (worth) yields the price or worth in a market context. This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun market value comes from the simple image of a busy market where many buyers and sellers set the value by how much they will pay. So, market value means 'the price' something can be 'sold' for.
