Barriär is a loanword from the French barrière, integrated into Swedish with standard plural and possessive inflections. The formation of barriärernas follows ordinary Swedish noun morphology: add -erna for the definite plural and -s to form the genitive.

It may refer to physical barriers (walls or membranes) or to abstract boundaries that separate domains, such as policy, information, or access. The term is common in Swedish-language discussions of science, technology, geography, and sociology.
