What Are the Key Growth Drivers Fueling the Barge Transportation Market Expansion?
The barge transportation market is anticipated to gain momentum from the flourishing international trade. Imports, which refer to products and services produced elsewhere but purchased by individuals in a specific nation, are a substantial component of international commerce. This type of trade involves the transmission of goods and services across global territories, typically in response to demand or necessity. For example, the U.S. Census Bureau, a government entity based in the United States, reported that the goods and services deficit escalated to $65.0 billion in July 2023, marking a growth of $1.3 billion from June 2023's $63.7 billion.
