Global smart meters market was
estimated at 59.6 million units in 2012. Government initiatives for
increasing the number of installations for smart meters on account of its
energy conservation functionality will play a vital role in the growth of the
product.
Growing
consumer awareness about energy consumption is also likely to propel the demand
over the forecast period. Smart meters allow for easy monitoring and managing
the consumption of electricity by consumers on a daily basis routine. Rising
demand for smart meters among energy suppliers is expected to boost the market
growth to resolve power outages, hardware faults and to enhance promptness in
