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.

Low Power Display Market: Projection of Each Major Segment over the Forecast Period 2017 - 2025

  Low power display technology is treated separately from our modern world. High resolution displays with low power are considered by many consumers to represent the low power display technology. The development in optoelectronics and nanotechnology has changed the low power display market . The low power display market consumes of less power than plasma technologies and cathode ray tube (CRT). Low-power features have become essential for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) due to environmental concerns. The technology that saves energy by decreasing the power consumption of the backlight unit in a display panel is considered in in low power display technology.  A low refresh-rate technology was introduced in order to further minimize power consumption in the display panel. The low refresh-rate was achieved by employing oxide thin-film transistors (Ox-TFTs) with extremely low leakage currents. However, flicker may be visible due to the current leakage through the liquid crystal (LC

Noise Suppression Components Market: Granular View of The Market from Various End-Use Segments

Noise suppression refers to the methods of reducing and eliminating the effects of unwanted and undesirable sound effects and electrical disturbances which occurs when the level of signal carrier is greater than the noise level. Noise causes intrusion in many electrical devices. However, there are rules to suppress noise, because noise which does not affect a particular electrical device may affect some other electrical device. Further, an electronic device is known as ‘emission’ if it is itself the source of unwanted noise and it is referred to as immunity if the concerned electronic device is the victim of unwanted noise. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has made the issue of noise suppression important. Some of the examples of noise suppression components are electromagnetic interference suppression filter which is an electronic component which provides electromagnetic noise suppression techniques for electronic goods. The function of the e
