According to the new market research report “Smart Meters Market by Type (Electric, Gas, Water), Communication Type (RF, PLC, Cellular), Component (Hardware, Software), Technology (AMR, AMI), End user (Residential, Commercial, Industrial), and Region – Global Forecast to 2026″, published by MarketsandMarkets™, The Smart Meters Market size will grow to USD 30.2 billion by 2026 from USD 19.6 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period.
Governments worldwide are undertaking several initiatives to meet the future electricity demands and are focusing on reducing carbon footprint by promoting the use of renewable energy sources to produce energy. Smart meters will play a crucial role in achieving these initiatives. The increase in the adoption of electric vehicles, development of microgrids, distributed energy storage, and the need for net-metering are a few of the major drivers for the smart meter market growth. With advancements in smart meters and sensors, utility systems and their dynamic prices can be monitored in real-time. The real-time data generated by smart meters helps energy network operators understand patterns in demand and accordingly ensure the right level of energy generation and ensure effective grid management. Grid operators can plan to integrate renewable energy by applying analytics on the demand data produced by smart meters. Smart meter sensors and communication systems can effectively and quickly monitor and resolve blackout issues and are also used for mapping outage events to help prevent future outages. In addition, data from smart meter communication systems can help utilities visualize, analyze, and efficiently manage repairs, reducing outage times and costs while quickly restoring and resuming the services.
