Firstly, the total size of the installed base of smart meters globally is set to grow from 100 million in 2010 (dominated by Italy and the US) to 1.6 billion in 2015 (by which time China is comfortably the #1 market in the world, accounting for almost 1/3 of smart meters).
The report, entitled "The Global Market for Embedded Connectivity in the Utilities Sector 2010-20", to be published in April 2011, examines the M2M market opportunity in the Utilities sector.
