Dublin, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Gas Meters Smart & Standard Ed 5 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Gas Meter market has witnessed a remarkable upsurge, having grown to 80.8 million meters with a value totaling $5.5 billion in 2023. Projections indicate a sustained expansion, with expectations to hit the 116-million-meter mark by 2028.

This surge is underpinned by a growing adoption of smart gas metering solutions, a competitive decline in the pricing of ultrasonic meters, and persistent reliance on natural gas as a transitional energy source.

Driving Forces in Smart Metering

Smart gas metering is accelerating globally, establishing its foothold firmly after initially trailing behind its electricity counterpart. Significant deployments in Europe, the Asia Pacific, and Central Asia exemplify this trend, whereby these regions are increasingly embracing smart gas meter technologies.

Advancements in Ultrasonic Metering

Once exclusive to bulk and custody transfer applications, ultrasonic meters are now making headway into the residential sector. Affordability has been a critical barrier; however, recent price reductions have positioned these meters as a formidable alternative to the traditionally dominant diaphragm meters. This technology has captured the attention of major markets globally, with substantial contracts and regulatory approvals signaling a potential shift in residential gas metering preferences.

Natural Gas: A Stable Transitional Energy Source

Despite the emergence of renewable energy sources and advocacy for net-zero targets, fossil fuels remain central to the world's energy matrix, with natural gas favored for its relatively lower emissions compared to coal and oil. The distribution of city gas infrastructure is expanding, particularly in key markets with elaborate growth agendas.

Chinese industry to seek probe into EU pork imports, Global Times reports
BEIJING (Reuters) -Chinese companies plan to request that authorities open an anti-dumping investigation into imports of some pork products from the European Union, the state-backed Global Times newspaper reported on Saturday, citing an unidentified "business insider". China imported a total of 1.55 million metric tons of pork in 2023 with the EU accounting for more than half of the total, customs data showed. The report comes as trade tensions between the EU and China intensify, with the EU conducting investigations into various imports from China to protect home-grown manufacturers.

Analysis-In China, Starbucks tries to avoid price war but gets dragged into discounting
As Starbucks faces stiff competition for its brew in China from fast-growing, low-cost rivals who have chipped into its market share, the coffee chain is increasingly being dragged into a price war it says it wants to avoid. The stakes are high for Starbucks, which has come under growing pressure from investors recently due to weaker sales in its two biggest markets - the United States and China. While the Seattle-based company has got its work cut out in the world's second-biggest economy, where its rival Luckin Coffee pipped it to the top spot on annual sales for the first time in 2023, management is convinced it does not need to get into a race to the bottom on prices.

Post-COVID, China is back in Africa and doubling down on minerals
China's flagship economic cooperation program is bouncing back after a lull during the global pandemic, with Africa a primary focus, according to a Reuters analysis of lending, investment and trade data. Chinese leaders have been citing the billions of dollars committed to new construction projects and record two-way trade as evidence of their commitment to assist with the continent's modernisation and foster "win-win" cooperation. But the data reveals a more complex relationship, one that is still largely extractive and has so far failed to live up to some of Beijing's rhetoric about the Belt and Road Initiative, President Xi Jinping's strategy to build an infrastructure network connecting China to the world.

Exclusive-India's Reliance to buy Russian oil in roubles, sources say
India's Reliance Industries, operator of the world's biggest refining complex, has signed a one-year deal with Russia's Rosneft to buy at least 3 million barrels of oil a month in roubles, four sources aware of the matter told Reuters. The shift to rouble payments follows Russian President Vladimir Putin's push for Moscow and its trading partners to find alternatives to the Western financial system to facilitate trade despite U.S. and European sanctions. A term deal with Rosneft also helps privately run Reliance to secure oil at discounted rates at a time when the OPEC+ group of oil producers is expected to extend voluntary supply cuts beyond June.

Analysis-US tariffs on Chinese medical imports face industry doubt as alternative suppliers emerge
Higher U.S. tariffs on medical gloves, syringes and face masks from China are unlikely to make U.S. producers more competitive, as other low-cost suppliers are expected to rush in to fill the gap, industry executives said. Earlier this month, Washington announced steep tariff hikes on an array of Chinese imports including medical goods as part of a broader strategy to fuel domestic production and safeguard against supply shortages seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. But industry executives argue tariffs are unlikely to boost the competitiveness of local producers, as Chinese firms could reroute shipments via overseas supply chains, and suppliers from other countries such as Malaysia could seize this opportunity.

Onyx Motorbikes was in trouble — and then its 37-year-old owner died
James Khatiblou, the owner and CEO of Onyx Motorbikes, was watching his e-bike startup fall apart. Onyx was being evicted from its warehouse in El Segundo, Los Angeles. A shipment of around 100 CTY2 dirt bikes from Chinese supplier Suzhou Jindao was delayed, and customers were starting to demand refunds – a major problem considering Khatiblou already owed both lenders and shareholders a lot of money.
