Market Analysis of Smart Meter-

A smart meter is are recording device that records consumption of electric energy and informs the data to the electricity supplier for monitoring and billing. Smart meters record energy hourly or more frequently, and report at least daily. It enables two-way communication between the meter and the central system, making it different from automatic meter reading (AMR). Wireless or fixed wire connections like power line carrier (PLC) are the communication system, which connects meter to the network. Non-smart electrical and gas meters only measure total consumption, but not the information when the energy was consumed. But smart meters provides a way of measuring this site-specific information, enabling utility companies to charge different prices for consumption according to the time of day and the season. Smart metering provides potential benefits to householders such as estimated bills, a tool to help consumers better manage their energy purchases which provide up-to-date information on gas and electricity consumption.

The regions covered in this market report are North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. On the basis of country level, market is sub divided into U.S., Mexico, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, China, Japan, India, South East Asia, GCC, Africa, etc.

Automatic Information Sharing, Easy Monitoring of Power Consumption and Other Advantages of Smart Meter are Driving the Market

The smart meter market is growing due to the benefits it provides to the customers and power consumption departments such as these meters are used to estimate lower peak electricity demand, easy monitoring of power consumption on a daily basis and steps that can be taken accordingly. It benefits the energy suppliers also such as reduction in reaction time to solve power outages & hardware faults and remote reading conveniences. In addition, favorable government initiatives reinforcing the installation of smart meters are anticipated to be the one of the major factors driving the growth of the smart meter market. Recently smart meter industry is witnessing a change from automatic meter reading (AMR) to advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) equipment.  The smart meter is used to send various information which includes pricing information, pre-pay information, disconnect/reconnect instruction, alarm/load-shed instruction, programming of meter and upgrade of meter software and data & time. In addition, promotion of green energy and effective transmission facilities, real time information sharing on usage are some of the other factors affecting the growth of the market. However, high installation cost and improper installation of smart meters is the major challenge for the market growth.

North America is Expected to Dominate the Market

North America and Europe are dominating the global smart meter market on account of government initiatives, regulatory conditions and standardized policies. smart meters are also being used in grid management in these countries which is also supplementing the demand of smart meters. For example, The Ontario Energy Board in Ontario, Canada has defined the technology and developed the regulatory framework for its implementation. In between 2000 to 2005 world's largest smart meter deployment was undertaken by Enel SpA, the dominant utility in Italy with more than 30 million customers, deploying smart meters to all its customers. On 8th July 2016, the new “Digitization of the Energy Turnaround Act” initiated the roll out of smart meters and connected infrastructures in Germany. Asia Pacific, it is expeceted to be the fastest growing region in the smart meters market. As china is focusing on sustainable energy management with application of smart meters for smart grid implementation, this in turn will result in growth of the smart meter market in this region.
