Electricity Meters (Smart Meters) Market: Comprehensive Analysis and Future Estimations 2018

Electricity meters are devices used to measure and monitor energy consumption in households as well as industrial spaces. These devices have evolved from legacy systems that were electromechanical in nature, to solid state meters that provide two-way communication capabilities along with accurately measuring and reporting energy demand.
 
 
Governments and other legislative bodies are undertaking various initiatives to ensure smart meter rollouts over the next few years. This is primarily due to the large number of benefits offered by smart electricity meters. Besides accurately determining energy consumption, electricity meters also allow meter reading from remote locations, prepayment options, and fraud detection by implementing and storing time of day usage at periodic intervals. Although smart electricity meters can be tampered with, it requires the modification of storage logs, which is a time intensive and complex activity.
 
Depleting fossil fuel resources and increasing dependence on renewable sources of energy has prompted the need for installing smart meters that are capable of controlling energy used by electronic equipments. Electricity meters are equipped to handle and compensate for dwindling electricity supply, which helps improve customer service and is profitable to utility companies as well. However, lack of awareness among end users, and concerns about privacy are expected to restrain market growth over the forecast period.
 
 
The value chain for electricity meters comprises of power generation firms as well as TSOs (Transmission System Operators) which are responsible for supplying electricity on high voltage grids and medium to low voltage grids respectively. In addition, smart energy service providers provide energy plans based on tariff and self diagnostics capabilities.
 
The global electricity meters market has been segmented on the basis of application into residential meters, commercial meters, and industrial meters. In terms of geography, Asia Pacific is expected to lead the market in terms of demand as well as revenue due to various initiatives undertaken to install smart meters in this region. Key market participants include Itron, Landis+Gyr, Jiangsu Linyang Electronics Co., Ltd., Holley Metering Ltd., Sensus, and Elster among others.

Light Weapons Market: Key Players and Production Information analysis with Forecast 2025

Light weapons are weapons which are used by two or three persons serving as a crew, although some of them may be carried and used by a single person. Light weapons are basically used by militaries around the world and its applications have increased widely among armed groups. They include, inter alia, heavy machine guns, hand-held under-barrel and mounted grenade launchers, portable anti-aircraft guns, portable anti-tank guns, recoilless rifles, portable launchers of anti-tank missile and rocket systems, portable launchers of anti-aircraft missile systems as well as mortars of a caliber of less than 100 millimeters. The latest generation of light weapons is more destructive, more portable, and generally more competent than older systems, raising concerns about their uncontrolled generation. Light weapons are represented by their durability, cost effectiveness, accessibility and utility. In terms of military and non-military demand, such criteria perfectly match the needs of those who...

Photoelectric Sensors Market: Granular View of The Market from Various End-Use Segments

Photoelectric sensors are used to detect the shape, color, distance, absence or presence of a target. Photoelectric sensors are a type of position sensor that uses light emitting diodes as the light source. The sensor comprises a receiver and a light transmitter. The sensor emits light through the transmitter to the target which is then reflected and the light beam is received by the photoelectric receiver, activating the sensor output. The market is primarily driven by increasing application of photoelectric sensors in food and beverage, construction and automotive industries. Industrial automation is also principally driving the photoelectric sensors market globally. Additionally, the photoelectric sensors in parking facilities are used for the detection of the car positioning and level adjusting at multi-level car parking. High consistency and easy installation of the retro reflective photoelectric sensors is also driving the global photoelectric sensors market. These sensors are u...
