GBI Research has released its research offering on Smart Grids, Smart Grid Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2020 - Major Government Investments Through Utility Companies to Drive the Market, which provides key data, information and analysis on the global smart grid market. The report provides the market drivers, restraints and market trends information for the four major smart grid technologies, namely smart meters, broadband over power line, high voltage direct current transmission systems and energy storage. The report also includes an analysis of the four smart grid technologies in the four major geographic regions, namely North America, Asia Pacific, Europe and the rest of the world. The report provides comprehensive information on key market trends with superior analytics. The market for smart meters is at a nascent stage, with full scale roll-outs happening only in few countries such as the US, Canada, Italy, Sweden and others. Many countries including Brazil, the UK and Finland among others are installing such meters in trial projects and are getting ready for full scale roll-outs. The global smart meters market is poised for high growth during the forecast period 2010-2020. Currently, in 2010, less than 5% of the total global market is installed with smart meters. Under the moderate scenario, smart meter market penetration is expected to reach at least 55% or 719.3 million meters of total global potential by 2020.
