The water meter industry has a history of more than one hundred years. The products have also evolved from a full mechanical structure to today's water meters, smart meters, and other water metering instrumentation product lines. At present, the total annual global demand for water meters is about 100 million units. The main producers are Germany, France, Italy, Britain, Poland, Czech Republic, China, Japan, and the United States. China has become one of the largest water meter manufacturers in the world. In recent years, the demand for water meters in the world has continued to grow. With the exception of economically developed countries, which have experienced a steady and moderate increase, the demand for water meters in many developing countries has increased significantly, such as certain countries in South America, South Africa, parts of Asia, Russia, and its neighboring countries. The global water meter has a scale of 1.4 billion, and with the increase of global urbanization, it is estimated that there will be 1.8 billion by 2025.
North America and Western Europe occupy the market Developing China has huge potential needs
Currently, smart water meters are mainly concentrated in the markets of developed countries such as North America and Western Europe. Overall, as people pay more attention to the sustainable management of water resources, advanced water metering technologies are receiving more and more attention. The application of smart water meter technology is not limited by region, but the driving factors and limiting factors in different regional markets are not the same. At present, the main market for this technology is concentrated in developed regions such as North America and Europe. In developing regions, the application of smart metering equipment is generally still in the pilot phase. The growth of smart water meters is largely driven by the North American market, and smart water meter shipments still account for only a fraction of the total shipments of water meters. In 2010, for example, global smart water meter shipments accounted for only 6% of all water meters, and by the end of 2016, this figure has only risen to 8%.
So far, the sales of large-scale smart meters have been mainly concentrated in North America and Europe, and other regions are still in the project pilot phase. The successful experience in developed regions has increased people's attention to smart water meter technology, but sales in other regions have not yet seen significant growth. It is believed that in the future, with the major water supply suppliers in the developing regions successively taking the lead in introducing smart water meters, the technology will be more affirmed and its sales volume will be greatly increased. Although the markets in Asia Pacific and the Middle East are still immature, they have great potential for development in the future. In particular, China and India, their policy support and asset privatization process are very beneficial to the development of the industry. Countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines also have considerable demand for advanced water supply technologies, and their smart meter market will continue to expand.
Domestic smart meter coexistence of dilemma and opportunity
With the increasing demand for intelligent districts, there is a high manual error rate and inefficiency in the manual methods that require full-time personnel to come to the table to complete the meter reading. Smart metering began to develop in China.
However, in the domestic market, the transformation of smart water meters requires a huge amount of capital investment. The source of funds is a major bottleneck for the development of smart water meters. The biggest difficulty faced by the smart water meter industry is the financing problem. Most of the waterworks are not well funded. Usually, a large part of their budget is spent on the maintenance of the water supply network. To invest in new technologies, it is difficult to allocate funds or finance from the budget. Before investing heavily in the introduction of smart water meters, companies often start small pilot projects first, and the development of the smart meter market is affected. At this stage, the conditions for the widespread use of smart water meters are still not mature, and it will take time.
The smart water meter technology is complex, and there is still no unified technical route and standard. The development of the smart meter industry is inseparable from the establishment of the standard system and the advancement of relevant standards. However, in China's water meter industry is different from the meter industry, the national water system is relatively decentralized, and the technical power is not as strong as the power industry. Therefore, the standard system and standard revision and revision work can only be undertaken by the meter industry association. At the same time, since 2002 the country actively guided the implementation of the ladder water price and thus promoted the high boom of the smart meter industry, a large number of water meter companies have lost money and bankruptcy after investing in the smart meter industry. Among them, the technical updates and the stability of product quality can not meet the needs of users. the reason.
The barriers to investment in R&D of smart meters are high, and ordinary meter companies of small workshops are unable to continuously update their technologies. The smart meter wireless communication itself has limitations such as unstable radio frequency performance, large environmental impact due to environmental agitation, limitations in communication frequency band resources, and serious interference in the same frequency. Therefore, it has considerable technical difficulties. Consumption is also one of the implementation bottlenecks. Intelligent water meters have been operating in wet and rusty environments for a long time, and their electronic control modules are prone to failure. However, domestic tap water quality is poor, and some large and medium-sized enterprises have also encountered great difficulties in developing smart water meter services through the introduction of imported technologies.
Water meter downstream tap water company occupies a dominant position, China's water companies are numerous, and the water meter industry is highly competitive. The downstream of the water meter is the water supply company, real estate developer, and property management company, of which the water supply company is absolutely dominant, and the water supply company in the country is in a state of highly decentralized management. From the provincial level to the prefecture level to the county level, the water supply is divided into layers. Most management includes procurement autonomy. According to national statistics, there are currently 34 provincial-level administrative regions, 332 prefecture-level administrative division units, and 2,854 county-level administrative division units across the country. It is expected that there will be a total of more than 3,000 water companies with relatively independent management. This highly decentralized management system The impact on the water meter industry is the high barriers to regional procurement, coupled with the competition of a large number of water companies in the tertiary industry, which has created more than 600 water meter manufacturers in the country. The competition is fierce and the industry concentration is low.
to sum up
Compared with foreign countries, smart water meters in China have quite a start time, and the rapid development of China's economic construction has provided a larger market for the development of smart watches. Domestic enterprises are active in innovation, and rapid development and demand have led to some problems. In the future, intelligent water meters will take a long time to replace mechanical water meters, but the trend is beyond doubt!
