The smart meters are able to communicate with the utility company in real time, allowing for accurate and up-to-date energy usage data. This can help the utility company better manage its power grid and detect and respond to outages more quickly.

The global smart meter market is expected to grow from an estimated USD 23.1 billion in 2023 to USD 36.3 billion in 2028, at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period.

The emergence of electric, gas, and water smart meters has revolutionized utility operations. With advancements in smart meters, sensors, control systems, and communication components, utility systems can be monitored in real-time. These dynamic tariffs promote efficient use of electricity, gas, and water by reflecting variations in demand, availability, and delivery costs over time. For instance, smart electric meters help provide a reliable reading of power consumption at specific time intervals that match electricity market intervals. This enables energy companies to create tariffs adjusted to off-peak periods with lower prices and encourages customers to adjust their consumption so that they use energy when it is cheaper.

The Smart electric meter is expected to be the most significant application of the smart meter market. A smart electric meter takes automatic readings of residential, commercial, or industrial electricity usage and relays the information wirelessly to the energy supplier. Moreover, some meters also help analyze the energy usage trends during peak and off-peak hours, which can help predict future usage, thereby reducing electricity bills.

Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the Smart Meter Market. The Asia Pacific has a strong demand for smart meters, which is further growing due to government mandates and higher investment toward digitizing grids to manage huge electricity demand. China, Japan, and India are investing in grid expansion projects to increase distribution grid reliability.

Key Market Players:

Some of the major players in the Smart Meter Market are Schneider Electric (France), Landis+Gyr (Switzerland), Itron (US), Siemens (Germany), Wasion Group (China), Badger Meter (US), and Sensus (Xylem) (US)
