Earlier Report Observations

The market for liquid meters in Croatia showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2024. It began at 9.5 million dollars in 2018, rose to 10.6 million in 2019, then eased to 10.1 million in 2020. A strong rebound followed in 2021, pushing the market volume to 13.3 million dollars. After a sharp drop to 9.9 million in 2022, the market reached its highest point at 14.7 million in 2023 before declining to 13.4 million in 2024.

The market's most significant movements occurred after 2020. The 2021 growth aligned with a notable increase in import values, while the 2022 contraction corresponded with a fall in both imports and domestic production. In 2024, the market decreased by 8.8%. During this year, Croatia implemented legislative changes to harmonize national law with the EU acquis, including amendments to fiscalization, tax, consumer protection, and public administration laws, which may have indirectly influenced the business environment for equipment such as liquid meters.
