Not necessarily. Book value is the basis of the item less accumulated depreciation. Book value is rarely the actual cash value of an item, any item. Book value has to do with accounting and taxes, not sales price or actual cash value.
It is false that the book value of a fixed asset reported on the balance sheet represents its market value on that date. Fixed assets are also known as tangible assets.
Book value is an estimate of what an item could or should sell for, market value is what people will pay.

It is not same as market value because book value of assets derives from its cost and deduction of depreciation, while market value varies due to market conditions. That's why it may not be same.

That is a good question that a lot of people get confused about. In accounting, assets are recorded on your books at cost (what you paid for them). That value (less any accumulated depreciation or impairment expense) is your book value. That is, your book value is based on what you paid for the asset as opposed to it's market value. A market value (fair value) is what that asset would sell for on the open market if you attempted to sell it. This is a very subjective judgment, which is the main reason accountants don't usually report assets at market value in the United States (there are some exceptions in relation to securities). A price is what an asset actually is being sold for. Price and market value are usually the same thing, but sometimes factors make price higher or lower than market value. This is usually as a result of government regulations, or company pricing policies.
