Itron has announced that it is ranked number one in a number of market position estimates in the latest water meter market analysis report published by IMS Research. The report, The World Market for Water Meters—2011 Edition, published in October 2011 and authored by Nicole Juarez, estimates Itron to have the top unit share position globally for a number of segments, including Total World Water Meter Shipments, Total World Water Communications Modules and Total World Domestic Water Meters.
“Itron takes its leadership position seriously, particularly during such a critical time in the industry when water suppliers around the world are facing growing populations and infrastructure challenges,” said Marcel Regnier, Itron president and COO, Water. “In developing countries, providing people with secured potable water is the primary concern; yet, in the most developed countries, making distribution systems more reliable, smarter and energy efficient are key drivers for technology investments, together with improved consumer service. At Itron, we offer tailored solutions to meet our customers’ unique business needs, and I believe this is why we are a leading global provider today.”
Itron suppliers meters, leak detection devices and communications modules, network infrastructure, back-office data collection and analytic software that enable utilities to manage supply, optimise usage and conserve resources.
