1983, Japan introduced a miniature electric meter, and today almost 100% of the residents use this kind of electric meter. 20 10 realizes value-added service on the basis of single-chip microcomputer electric meter, and tries ultrasonic electric meter. 1985, American firefly company began to develop short-distance wireless meter reading, but it has not been popularized so far due to safety problems.
1995, China began to develop IC card meters. After trial, it is found that there are some important defects, such as inaccurate control, disordered data and easy to be attacked by users. 1999, some types of watches, such as buttons, radio frequency cards, CPU cards, centralized copying and remote transmission, tried to improve and replace IC card watches; IC cards, buttons, radio frequency cards, CPU cards, centralized copying, remote transmission and other types of watches gradually withdrew from the market in 2005.
In 2006, infrared digital gas meters began to directly replace other intelligent gas meters. Looking forward to the future, with the improvement of network security and the popularization and application of wireless remote gas meters, the standards of smart gas meters will be unified, and self-service payment will be made by using the network platform.
-The market size in 2020 will be about 7.62 billion US dollars.

Development forecast of global intelligent gas meter
Under the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, people can't copy the data of gas meters at will, and the epidemic has accelerated the development of the global smart gas meter industry. In addition, under the background of global intelligent manufacturing, industrial upgrading and reform further make natural gas move towards the goal of the second largest energy source. According to the data of FortuneBusinessInsights, from 202 1 to 2026, the market size of the global smart gas meter industry will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.3% to about 109 billion US dollars.
