Summary

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 database accompanying this report includes:

  • The tables from the report listed above
  • Spreadsheet of exports by country of origin and importing country for the years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006

The directory accompanying this report is in excel format and inludes a list of 989 global meter manufacturers - listing where available address, telephone, fax and email.
