Abstract
Description
This newest edition of IMS Research' s utility meter report is a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the worldwide gas meter market. It uses 2007 as the base year with forecasts to 2012. The use of natural gas has seen a significant increase in recent years due to energy demands, high cost of oil, and environmental concerns and has resulted in additional opportunities for metering.
IMS' aim in writing this report is to provide companies active in the gas meter market with a detailed and accurate assessment of gas meters in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia, shown on a country level. Meter shipments are split by eight product categories throughout the residential, commercial, and pipeline (T&D) sectors. Advanced meter sales such as AMR and prepayment meters are quantified. Data was collected from supplier inputs through questionnaires and interviews to build up a highly accurate picture of the market from the "bottoms up."
