The smart power meter market has grown dramatically

In recent years, the state has paid more attention to the energy conservation and environmental protection industry, and it has been identified as one of the seven strategic emerging industries planned during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period in China. In addition, the tight energy supply, insufficient power supply, and low power quality have contributed to the vigorous efforts of the smart grid. Construction.

This has led to the development of the smart power meter market. From the past three years, the sales volume of the smart power meter industry in China was less than 2.5 million units in 2010, and it has grown to about 3.3 million units in 2011. This figure exceeded last year. 4 million units. The average annual compound growth rate reached 29.62% in the past three years. It is expected that by 2016, the growth of smart power meters in China will exceed 40%.

According to the development plan of the State Grid Corporation of China, the development of the smart grid in China will go through three stages of development, namely, technology research and development and standard development, comprehensive construction and improvement. At present, the development of China's smart grid has entered a phase of comprehensive construction, which has created a huge market demand for smart meters.

After 2016, China's smart grid will enter the stage of perfect improvement, and some old and old meters will be upgraded. Therefore, after 2016, China's smart power meter market will continue to grow substantially.
