What Is The Crucial Factor Driving The Global Barge Transportation Market?
The growth of the barge transportation market is anticipated to be driven by the increase in international trade. Imports, which are goods and services procured by a country's citizens but produced abroad, play a significant role in international trade. This involves the trading of goods and services across international borders or territories as per the demand or preference. The U.S. Census Bureau, a government agency based in the United States, noted in September 2023 that the goods and services deficit had risen to $65.0 billion in July 2023, up by $1.3 billion from June 2023’s $63.7 billion. The expansion in international trade, therefore, is powering the barge transportation market's growth.
