The global barge transportation market reached a value of US$ 122 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 149.6 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.46% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

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.
