A smart electric meter is an electronic device that records the consumption of electrical energy and communicates the information to the electricity supplier for monitoring and billing. Global smart electric meter market is estimated to grow with 4.45% CAGR during the year 2019-2027. The base year considered for the study is 2018 and the estimated period is between 2019 and 2027.

The growth of this market is driven by the following factors:

  • Growing focus on energy-efficient products and services
  • rising initiatives to solve energy need problems by smart electric meters by various governments
  • Up surging smart grid market will pilot demand for the smart electric meter market
  • Losses like fraud, costs, and theft involved in the manual collection are minimized with the use of the smart electric meter

The essential driver increasing growth in the global smart electric market is growing in the smart grid market. To provide secure and efficient energy management on a regional level, utility providers are progressively focusing on the extensive deployment of smart grid systems. The smart electricity meter is an essential element of the smart grid system, which can offer bi-directional communication with data collection points. Thus the smart grid market will directly affect the smart electric meter market.

The major challenge in the growth of the smart electric meter market is the privacy issue because unlike the traditional meter on most homes, smart electric meters send data from your home back to the power company every 15 minutes. Utilities don’t just learn how much power you use; they can also be alerted in real-time to an outage caused by bad weather. The smart electric meter’s ability to talk back to the utility is a major privacy concern.

The fastest-growing segment by technology is AMI. AMI is a more advanced technology when compared with AMR. The former enables two-way communication; it is automated and allows real-time water data for the consumer and the utility. The data is captured several times a day and provides more details and information such as the peak consumption, real-time consumption, and time of use, all of which allow better customer management and improved operations. The real-time collection of data also solves one of the biggest problems that is faced by electrical. Also, it is easier to find the leaks in the electrical distribution system or the customer-end faster. This means that the leaks can be fixed before it becomes big, thus saving on the expensive repairs. Therefore, eventually, the AMI will replace all the AMR due to its higher benefits compared to AMR.

The primary restraint for the smart electric meter market is that it is capital intensive. Energy suppliers are required to fund the capital costs of both the smart electric meters and In-Home Display (IHD). They also pay for the installation, operation, and maintenance of this equipment plus the communications hub (which links the Smart electric meters to the supplier via the DCC). The roll-out of smart electric meters also requires upfront investment by energy suppliers in supporting IT systems and the DCC, as well as their ongoing operation. Other industry participants, such as distribution network operators (DNOs) who will also need to upgrade their systems to integrate into the smart electric meter network. Further costs include the accelerated disposal of conventional meters being replaced, the energy consumed by the smart electric meter equipment itself, and the launch and support of a consumer engagement strategy. Thus the escalating costs of the installation and maintenance are the major restraints for the smart electric meter market.

The global smart electric meter market segments include:

Market by Application      

  • Residential
  • Commercial
  • Industrial

Market by Technology

  • AMR
  • AMI

Based on geography, the global smart electric meter market has been segmented into four major regions

  • North America – U.S. & Canada
  • Asia Pacific – India, China, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Rest Of Asia Pacific
  • Europe – United Kingdom Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Rest of Europe.
  • Rest of World – Latin America, Middle East & North Africa, Rest of Africa.

The Asia Pacific is the largest and the fastest-growing region. China accounts for about 45% of the global smart electric meter market. This is the main reason for the Asia Pacific to be the largest market. While India seems to be a highly untapped market, it is also a big area geographically. India is a vast economy with electric consumption on the rise. There is also various government initiative that the Indian government will undertake. India’s robust economy and untapped market and multiple advantages of the smart electric meter will cause it to grow at a high rate. India’s growth will be the primary reason for the Asia Pacific to be the fastest-growing region.

The global smart electric meter market segmented into the market by application and market by technology. The market by application is further subdivided into residential, commercial and industrial. The technology segment is divided into AMR and AMI.

The major market players of the global smart electric meter market are:

  • ABB Ltd.
