With the improvement of people's living standards and quality of life, the demand for intelligent products required by modern families will promote the development of intelligent gas meters in the direction of safety, reliability and intelligent convenience. So what is the market prospect of smart gas meters? Let's get to know!

Smart gas meters mainly include IC card gas meters and remote gas meters. IC card meters are always charged, have high requirements for batteries, and can be used reliably in electricity meters. IC card gas meters are suitable for scattered users who are not easy to be managed centrally, such as hotels, school canteens, government units and commercial outlets, However, at present, the contact IC card intelligent gas meter is still the mainstream product in the market.

The wireless remote transmission gas meter generally takes the membrane gas meter as the metering base meter, and is equipped with flow signal acquisition module, wireless transmission module, etc. in addition to the gas volume metering function, it also has the functions of electromechanical conversion of metering data, wireless RF data transmission, valve remote control, etc. It is suitable for the gas remote centralized automatic meter reading system of users such as residential areas, However, it is still in the early stage of large-scale application.

Through the analysis of the market prospect of smart gas meters, with the gradual implementation of the 13th five year plan for natural gas, natural gas has become an important part of the life of urban residents. The whole natural gas industry has entered a high boom development period. At the same time, the implementation of stepped gas price puts forward new requirements for natural gas measurement methods, which directly gives birth to the demand for smart gas meters, In 2016, the market demand for smart gas meters reached 13.3 billion yuan.

In April 2014, the national development and Reform Commission issued several opinions on the long-term mechanism for ensuring the stable supply of natural gas, which made it clear that China would establish a long-term mechanism for ensuring the stable supply of natural gas, increase the supply of natural gas, strive to achieve 420 billion cubic meters of natural gas supply capacity by 2020, and increase the proportion in primary energy consumption to more than 10%. Therefore, the rapid promotion of natural gas consumption will bring great development opportunities for the gas meter industry.

By analyzing the market prospect of smart gas meter, the market scale of smart gas meter has exceeded 8 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 25%. At present, there are more than 100 million on-line gas meters in China, including more than 50 million smart gas meters. The market penetration accounts for about 50% of gas households. The output of smart gas meters has increased rapidly by about 25% in the past five years. At present, 20 million smart gas meters are produced every year, and the number of new users of smart gas meters accounts for about 60% of the number of new users of gas meters.

The smart gas meter market largely depends on the penetration of gas. In recent years, China has vigorously developed the popularization of natural gas for urban residents, which has brought great hope to the smart gas meter industry. According to the relevant data of the metrology Association, at present, the penetration rate of intelligent gas meters in China is about 50%, the annual sales volume is more than 20 million units, and the market scale is 8 billion yuan. We predict that the market of smart gas meters will maintain a growth rate of 25%, and the overall market space can reach 60 billion yuan in the future.

In addition, in order to improve its gross profit margin, the company will also promote the sales of animal networking gas meters. At the same time, with the reduction of manufacturing costs, the company may reduce the selling price of gas meters to benefit consumers. Therefore, from the perspective of consumers, Internet of things gas meters with lower price and more convenient use will become the mainstream gas meters used by consumers in the future. In the future, the smart gas meter of Internet of things may become the mainstream of the smart gas meter Market in the future!
