The new ABS World Electricity Meter Market report has been updated and expanded. This electricity meter market research report is a comprehensive study of the world electricity meter market and contains demand forecasts for 184 countries and detailed meter market surveys of the 29 largest markets in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The meter industry is poised for the most important technological development since the introduction of the Ferraris induction meter over a century ago. Replacement of electromechanical , meters with basic solid state meters has already started in a slow way. This trend has now been overtaken by a development which has been brewing for several years but in the last 12 to 18 months has taken a significant step forward to reality. This is the introduction of advanced or intelligent metering, with which energy providers and consumers communicate with each other. Advanced metering offers benefits such as, lower energy consumption, demand management to reduce peak load, lower supplier costs, lower consumer bills, fewer GHG emissions, better service to the consumers, additional services for customers. Studies of existing systems of trials record modest cost benefit savings from 0% to 20%, with an average of 5% to 10%.
