Recently published intelligence by Fact.MR estimates that the global barge transportation market will register a CAGR of 4.5% from 2021-2031, reaching US$ 191.45 Bn. Extensive reliance on maritime transportation in lieu of diminishing water borders is principally driving adoption of barges across continents and countries.

From 2016 to 2020, the industry experienced a modest incline of 3%, with bulk of the trade happening across the petrochemicals and hydrocarbons sector. As of 2020, the market was valued at US$ 119.92 Bn, experiencing a Y-o-Y growth rate of 3.4% to reach US$ 123.29 Bn in 2021. Recessionary pressures as a result of contracting maritime trade due to COVID-19 temporarily stalled barge transportation uptake.

In the future, global demand for barge transportation is expected to remain reliant on the ever proliferation growth opportunities in maritime trade, particularly in countries across Asia. According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development, Asia maintained a 41% share of total goods loaded in 2020, despite the pandemic induced recession. Countries such as the Philippines, China and Indonesia are expected to emerge as highly lucrative hotspots for maritime trade, followed by India, Japan and other Asian giants.
