Development Status of Electricity Meter and Water Meter in My Country
Since the 1990s, with the rapid growth of my country's economy, electricity consumption has continued to increase. In particular, the implementation of projects such as urban and rural power grid construction and renovation has brought new development opportunities to the electricity meter industry. The number of factories has increased to several hundred, and the scale has continued to expand. There have been enterprises with an annual output of 5 million units, or even more than 10 million units. Especially in the peak period of 1999 and 2000, the country's total production capacity reached more than 100 million units, and the market demand reached 80 million units. my country has become a real electricity meter producer and consumer.
With the basic realization of large-scale urban and rural power grid construction and transformation. In recent years, the market demand for electricity meters has been declining. However, with the acceleration of urban residential construction and the popularization of rural electricity consumption, the current annual market demand for watt-hour meters in my country will remain stable at around 60 million units.
The export volume of my country's electricity meter products is also increasing year by year. In 2002, the export volume was close to 10 million units, a year-on-year increase of 233%, and the export value reached 210 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 479%. The proportion of electronic watt-hour meters with higher profits has increased significantly, indicating that the structure of export products has undergone significant changes, and the advantages of technological progress in the industry have begun to emerge.
At present, my country is one of the fastest developing countries for electronic watt-hour meters in the world, and the market demand exceeds 10 million units per year, and it is constantly rising.
The export area of watt-hour meters has also been limited to developing countries in the past, and now it has entered the market of developed countries such as Italy. The scale level of several key enterprises has reached world-class level.
The same is true for water meters. We are also a big consumer country and have a good development foundation. In recent years, the export volume of water meters has increased rapidly, reaching more than 2 million units every year, and it is transferring from exporting products to exporting technology. The typical one is Ningbo water meters. Co., Ltd. supplied water meter production lines to Syria. With the increasing emphasis on water conservation in my country, the acceleration of urbanization and the promotion of residential construction, the water meter industry will develop steadily.
