Smart metering is in line with the development direction of new urbanization.

Smart meters are mainly used in the supply process of water, electricity, heat, gas and other energy sources, and are closely related to the lives of residents. With the introduction of green energy management, the intelligent instrumentation industry has achieved rapid development, which has promoted the simplification of energy metering and charging procedures. At the same time, it also solves the problems of household meter reading, and protects the privacy of residents' lives. The promotion of new-type urbanization, environmental protection, energy saving and emission reduction will bring new development opportunities to industries such as smart gas meters and heat meters.

Benefiting from the great development of natural gas, the smart gas meter market is growing rapidly.

The intelligentization of gas meters is in line with the future development direction of the industry. It is the foundation for building smart cities and modern Internet of Things, which can greatly improve the convenience of metering and charging management during the use of natural gas. With the advancement of the urbanization process of China and the gradual implementation of the 12th Five-Year Plan for natural gas, the industry has entered a period of opportunities for rapid development. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the compound annual growth rate of the smart gas meter industry is expected to reach 30%.

The market penetration rate is low, and the growth of smart water meters is stable.

In the past few years, the domestic smart water meter industry has achieved rapid development. Relevant statistics show that from 2006 to 2011, the industry’s average annual compound growth rate reached 29%, which is much higher than the water meter industry’s 10-13% level. Another characteristic of industry development is that the proportion of smart water meters in the overall water meter industry is increasing year by year.

The calorie meter shares the policy dividend and has broad room for development.
