With the economic development and social progress, the application of smart meters is becoming more and more common. Smart meters play a particularly important role in many fields. With the emergence of smart meters, smart meters are now popular. The popularity of smart meters has also driven the development of upstream and downstream industries.

The market scale of smart meters is expanding. In addition to North America and Europe, Japan is also actively promoting the application of smart meters. Kansai Electric Power and Kyushu Electric Power have adopted them in stages. Tokyo Electric Power plans to install about 17 million smart meters before 2018, and the smart meter installation rate in its jurisdiction will reach more than 60%. China and South Korea in Asia are also actively promoting the application of smart meters. These have provided space for the development of smart meters, and the market size is considerable.

Smart meters are mainly used in the fields of electricity and gas, but their influence is not limited to this. At present, smart meters have affected the development of many fields. For example, smart meters are gradually replacing analog meters, which has also brought opportunities for the development of the semiconductor and electronic components industry. After all, smart meters need to be equipped with a large number of semiconductors and electronic components.

Smart meters are generally equipped with analog ICs, microcontrollers (MCUs), A-D converters, rectifiers, quartz crystal resonators, liquid crystal displays, and communication modules that display measurement results. This also shows that the development of smart meters will deeply affect these upstream and downstream industries. In addition, smart meters need to improve the communication network to transmit over-standard values, which also affects the impact of smart meters on the communications and home appliance industries. As more and more countries attach importance to the application of smart meters, and more and more households use smart meters, the size of the smart meter market will grow rapidly.
