Smart Meter Market Technological Advancements, Growth Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2026
Smart meter is a device used for recording use
of electrical, gas, and water energy. Smart meter interfaces with supplier to
communicate the information for monitoring and billing. Smart meters commonly
record energy hourly or more often, and report at least daily. It features
display screen, which displays consumption of energy in real-time and provide
estimated bills. Smart meter is an advanced version of conventional metering
system and uses mobile technology to send readings automatically. It is one of
the many components of the smart grid that manages energy distribution and
consumption through Internet to bring an existence of bi-directional
communication, coordination, and control. Smart meter may use one of the two
types of network, which include standard mobile phone network and mesh network.
Smart meters are used in building automation system to control over heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning as per the energy consumption requirements.
Factors Driving Growth of the Global Smart
Meter Market
Growing demand for accurate billing and
increasing efforts towards energy conservation is expected to fuel growth of
the global smart meter market. Smart meter digitally sends readings to the
energy supplier for more accurate energy bills. It allows the consumer to take
control on energy use, so that consumers can save energy for other purposes
such as in industries and medical equipment. Smart meter helps the environment
by reducing the need to build power plants or avoiding the use of older, less
efficient power plants as consumers lower their electric demand. The
benefits of having smart meter is when suppliers have a better understanding of
usage patterns, more innovations can be made to the types of tariffs energy
supplier offers.
Favourable government policies along with
fiscal incentives are key factors driving growth of the smart meter market. According
to Smart Energy GB, the government has set the target that by the end of 2020,
around 53 million smart meters will be fitted in over 30 million premises
across wales, Scotland, and England. Installation of smart meter is already
underway. More than 11 million smart meters have now been installed. This is
the biggest national infrastructure project that will enable a more energy
efficient system for Great Britain. By 2020, every household in
Great Britain will be able to use smart meter technology to see how much energy
is consumed.

Factors Restraining Growth of the Global Smart
Meter Market
Concerns over security and privacy of the data
as smart meters are also being used as a surveillance device hampers their
adoption. Operational cost of the industry is expected to be affected by the
full metering programme. These meters require regular maintenance, and
replacement, which is expected to lower their adoption among price-sensitive
users.
Regional Analysis of Smart Meter Market
On the basis of geography, the global smart
meter market is segmented into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia
Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
North America contributed the largest share in
the smart meter market due to huge market demand in the U.S. According to U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2016, the U.S. electric utilities
had around 70.8 million Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) installations
and around 80% of the AMI installations were residential. The country is
majorly focused on upgrading and replacing outdated infrastructure of smart meter,
enabling grid reliability, and installing smart power networks.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness
significant growth in the smart meter market due to supportive government
initiatives toward the implementation of smart meters. According to the Energy
Information Administration (EIA), China exceeded the US in federal smart grid
subsidies for the first time in 2010, with over US$ 7.3 billion invested
compared to US$ 7.1 billion in the U.S. Growing residential sector with
increasing number of water connection is in turn driving growth of smart meters
market. According India Smart Utility Week 2019, Government of India plans to
implement 14 smart Grid pilot projects by 2019.
