Smart Meter Market - In-depth Analysis of the Industry with Future Estimations

Globalization has made the supply chains all over the world extremely interconnected. As a result, the lockdowns initiated in several countries for controlling the spread of the COVID-19 infection have massively disrupted the global supply chains. Moreover, the lack of availability of raw materials is severely hampering the progress of the appliance manufacturing and electric component sectors across the world.


These disruptions in the supply chain are affecting the manufacturing of the components used in smart meters such as sensors, displays, processors, and switches. China is one of the biggest suppliers of hardware components and raw materials, required for smart meters, but because of the pandemic and the supply chain disruptions, the country is not able to ship the necessary raw materials. 

This is causing a massive decline in the sales of smart meters throughout the world. Under the meter type segment of the smart meters market, the water meter category is predicted to exhibit the highest growth rate in the coming years. This is ascribed to the rising usage of water meters by consumers for keeping track of their water consumption and monitoring pressure, wastage, and leakage with the help of the integrated sensors and carrying out data analysis for optimizing the water usage. 

Furthermore, the growing public awareness about the reducing water sources and the necessity of accurate meter readings is massively pushing up the utilization of smart meters across the globe. Globally, the smart meters market would demonstrate the highest growth in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the upcoming years, primarily because of the increasing enactment of favorable government regulations regarding the usage of smart meters in various regional countries. 

For example, in China, as part of the five-year countrywide plan to upgrade and modernize the grid infrastructure, the utilities organizations are installing numerous smart meters. Other countries in the APAC region have also realized the need to upgrade their grid infrastructure and make it in line with the international standards, which would, in turn, help them improve the revenue collection procedure of utilities and address the various energy challenges.

BFSI Using Advanced Security Solutions to Protect Data and Financial Assets

Banks and financial institutions are gradually shifting their core applications over to the cloud network, to offer a personalized banking experience, mitigate the risks associated with conventional technologies, improve the operational control of platforms, reduce capital expenditure, and meet the growing need for real-time analysis of high-volume data. However, the deployment of the cloud infrastructure escalates the risk of cyberattacks, as the data is stored at remote locations.  Get the Sample Copy of this Report @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/bfsi-security-market/report-sample To combat the cyber threat, such institutions are increasingly adopting a range of advanced security solutions. The financial service sector has become a prime target for cybercriminals, as it centers around financial assets and generates massive unstructured data. Moreover, progressive steps such as the adoption of online banking and shift toward digital processes have increased the pro

RF Semiconductor Market a $5.0-Billion Investment Opportunity by 2030

The major factors leading to the rising demand for radiofrequency (RF) semiconductors are the increasing popularity of smartphones, enhancements in the wireless communication technologies, and escalating adoption of the internet of things (IoT). As a result, from $2.1 billion in 2019, the market of RF semiconductor will witness an 8.8% CAGR during 2020–2030 (forecast period), to reach $5.0 billion by 2030. Made of semiconductor materials, such components enable RF communication in an array of sectors. Get the Sample Copy of this Report @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/rf-semiconductor-market-report/report-sample The material segment of the market is classified into indium phosphate, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, silicon, and silicon germanium. Among these, during the historical period (2014–2019), the largest share was held by the gallium arsenide category because RF semiconductors made from this material consume less power, account for low power dissipation, ca

How Is Consumer Electronics Sector Helping Silicon on Insulator Market Grow?

Currently, the major players of the silicon on insulator market are taking strategic measures, such as product launches, facility expansions, partnerships, geographical expansions, client wins, and mergers and acquisitions, to gain a competitive edge in the market. For example, in January 2019, Soitec SA extended its collaboration with Samsung Foundry to increase the volume supply of FD-SOIs.  With the new agreement, these companies extended their partnership and secured a high-volume supply of FD-SOI wafers to cater to the surging demand for SOI wafers in consumer, automotive, and internet of things (IoT) applications. The wafer type segment of the silicon on insulator market is categorized into radio-frequency SOI (RF-SOI), power-SOI, imager-SOI, photonics-SOI, fully depleted SOI (FD-SOI), and partially depleted SOI (PD-SOI).  In 2018, the RF-SOI category generated the highest revenue, due to the escalating use of RF-SOI in advanced LTE smartphones and huge investments made in the
