Gas Metering Report 2017 - From 1st to 3rd Generation of Meters - Research and Markets

The "Gas Metering Report Edition 2 2017 - From 1st to 3rd Generation of Meter" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

This report describes the evolution of gas metering and the gas supply industry which supports it, from start to the present day, and projects the future of gas meter technology and demand.

Historically the demand for gas meters, like demand for electricity and water meters, followed a stable long-term path. It grew steadily as gas penetration increased, first for city coal gas and then for natural gas. There have been cyclical variations of this pattern caused by periods of low new installations and replacements, mainly due to wars or to economic circumstances. This pattern is changing in several ways. Networks and meter vendors need to understand how this change is coming about and how to predict the future cycles of demand, where and when they will be. The market is changing and there will be large variations in the demand cycles from country to country.

The report identifies the new gas consuming countries where the demand cycle is being established for the first time or is going to change because of a change in meter technology.
