Description Jump to:
The global barge transportation market size reached US$ 126.5 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 154.6 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% during 2022-2028.

A barge is a long boat with a flat bottom that is used for transporting passengers and heavy goods through rivers, canals, and lakes. It is widely preferred over heavy freight shipping as it is economical and environment-friendly and can be easily employed for transporting bulk commodities, such as grains, coal, and petroleum. At present, the significant growth in the international trade of chemicals, minerals, petroleum, agricultural, electronic, pharmaceutical, and food products is positively influencing the demand for barge transportation around the world.

Barge Transportation Market Trends:

In confluence with the increasing offshore production of oil and gas, rapid industrialization acts as a major growth-inducing factor catalyzing the demand for barge transportation. Moreover, the rising consumption of packaged food products on account of hectic lifestyles, the escalating demand for medical supplies, and the thriving agriculture industry are also bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, governing authorities of numerous countries are increasingly investing in improving infrastructure for inland waterways, which is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, several leading companies are offering distinct facilities, such as infrastructure, warehouses, refueling, and intermodal shipment. These companies are also emphasizing on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), collaborations, and partnerships with other companies to upgrade existing designs, develop innovative products and expand their existing reach in the market. This, along with the growing adoption of the internet of things (IoT), is anticipated to increase the utilization of barge transportation in the coming years.

About the Barge Transportation Market

Barge transportation is a form of sea and water freight that involves the use of barges, which are large, flat-bottomed vessels used to transport goods and materials. Barges are typically towed by tugboats, and can be used to transport a variety of goods, including bulk commodities, containers, and liquid cargo. Barge transportation is often used to transport goods over long distances, as it is more cost-effective than other forms of transportation. Barges are also used to transport goods along inland waterways, such as rivers and canals. This type of transportation is often used to transport goods to and from ports, as well as to transport goods between inland locations. Barge transportation is also used to transport goods between countries, as it is often more cost-effective than other forms of transportation. Some companies in the barge transportation market include Kirby Corporation, American Commercial Lines, Canal Barge Company, and Ingram Barge Company. Show Less Read more
