Abstract
The meter market is in an expansionist and innovative phase. It is at a point
of fundamental technological change with the introduction of advanced or
intelligent metering. This has immediate consequences for new meters but it
also has long term implications for the meter market because of the different
service lives of mechanical and solid state meters. In this new edition of the
Multi Meters Report we have expanded the coverage of the marketing profiles to
look at some interesting new countries which are presenting growing
opportunities but have been rather neglected in the past. These include large
market like Turkey, Iran, Vietnam and Indonesia which have not received so
much attention in the past. They also include smaller markets like Poland, and
the Czech Republic where long established meter companies are looking to
expand their export business and are making a bid for a global presence. The
market profiles in the report are expanded to review 14 new countries in the
electricity section, 8 new countries in the gas section and 4 new countries in
the water section. The report now contains reviews of the meter markets in 29
countries (29 electricity, 22 gas and 19 water).
The report contains the following key information:
