The Japan smart electric meter market is growing at a CAGR of approximately 11.7% during the forecast period. The key reason for the growth of the market is the increased adoption of electric grids and increasing per capita consumption in the nation. Japan possesses significant growth in the APAC smart electric meter market. According to USITC, Japan’s smart grid technology market in 2016 was approximately $7.5 billion and is expected to increase rapidly over the next five years. The country’s government is proactive towards energy and environment and had established the Energy-Environment Council to develop the policy response for switching away from nuclear power. The council issued a report, which focuses on the need of conservation measures, efficiency measures and supply side measures including the introduction of smart meters as well as electricity tariff systems.
