About the Gas Meter Market
A gas meter is a device that is primarily used to measure the volume of gas consumed at residential, commercial, or industrial premises. Gas meters can be of the following types:
• Basic gas meters (analog type)
• Smart gas meters (digital type)
Basic gas meters use analog technology to measure the volume of gas consumed and need a meter reader to record the measured data. Smart meters, on the other hand, are capable of wireless communication and transmit all the necessary information at the utility end. Smart meters give accurate readings and measurement and hence, remove any discrepancies while billing.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global gas meter market to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during the period 2016-2020.
