Government Initiatives Augmenting Global Demand for Smart Meters

The increasing implementation of favorable government policies in several countries is fueling the installation of smart meters. As part of their clean energy initiatives, the governments of many countries have enacted legislations that make the installation of smart meters mandatory. For example, in February 2020, EESL, which is state-owned company based in India, announced that it has completed the installation of one million smart meters across the country, under the Indian Government’s Smart Meter National Programme. 


Furthermore, the company aims to install 250 million smart meters in the country over the next few years. Similarly, state-owned Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), in collaboration with the Alfanar Group, signed contracts worth $2.53 billion for a comprehensive project aimed at installing 10 million smart meters in Saudi Arabia before March 2021. Moreover, the companies aim to complete the project by March 2023. These programs and initiatives are positively impacting the sales of smart meters.

This trend is expected to continue in the coming years as well, due to the fact that the requirement for smart meters is the highest in residential applications. Moreover, residential units such as autonomous houses and suburban/urban apartments are the biggest end users of smart meters around the world. Globally, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region will dominate the smart meters industry in the upcoming years, as per the estimates of the market research company, P&S Intelligence. 

Hence, it is clear that the demand for smart meters will surge all over the world in the coming years, primarily because of the increasing implementation of favorable government policies, rising focus on smart grids, and the growing public awareness about energy conservation.

Why is Demand for Ambient Lighting Surging in Asia-Pacific?

The surging adoption of LED lights in the industrial sector is credited to their high energy efficiency and excellent design structure. Additionally, the large-scale installation of LED lights in the residential sector is broadening the scope for greater efficiency and advanced designs. Luminaires and lamps, and lighting controls are the two most widely used types of ambient lighting solutions. Between these, the demand for luminaires and lamps was found to be higher in the world during the last few years. This was because luminaires and lamps are integral components of ambient lighting solutions. Furthermore, with the rising demand for greater energy efficiency, the adoption of LED lamps and luminaires is predicted to soar sharply in the forthcoming years.  Geographically, the demand for ambient lighting solutions was observed to be the highest in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the years gone by and this trend will continue in the upcoming years as well. This is attributed to ...

Why Are Air Compressor Sales Rising in APAC Manufacturing Sector?

Among the top manufacturing nations in the world are China, Japan, India, and South Korea. Their booming population and export volume are leading to a continuous increase in industrial production. New manufacturing clusters are being set up, and a huge volume and variety of production equipment is being procured in order to fulfill the rising demand for all things imaginable.  One of the key pieces of equipment used at factories is an air compressor, often as part of larger machines that operate on pneumatics (air pressure). Therefore, as per P&S Intelligence, with the burgeoning industrial production, the value of the APAC air compressor market will increase to $15.2 billion by 2024 from $11.8 billion in 2018, at a 4.1% CAGR during 2019–2024 (forecast period).  Some of the common industrial machines that work on pneumatics, therefore require air compressors, are rock drills, riveters, pavement breakers, paint sprayers, forging presses, blast cleaners, nail guns, and atom...

Robotic Process Automation Market Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, and Trends in Coming Years

Robotic process automation solutions allow businesses to create virtual workforce, which can work on routine and mundane tasks with high efficiency, thereby eliminating the requirement for manual intervention. These solutions offer scalability and reduce operational cost by over 50%, as the virtual workforce can work round the clock. As the RPA systems can work continuously, they offer enhanced customer satisfaction. With the growing complexities in operations, enterprises across the world are adopting automated solutions, interaction solutions, and decision support and management solutions to automate repetitive and mundane tasks. Apart from this, RPA software also helps in mechanizing back-end processes because it can run in the background 24*7. This, in turn, allows human employees to concentrate on more important tasks, such as product development or client handling.
