Smart Electric Meter Market Trends:

Favorable Regulatory Support

The implementation of various regulations by government bodies that mandate the installation of smart meters to meet sustainability objective and modernize grid infrastructures is strengthening the market. As of Decem­ber 2022, acc­ording to the National Smart Grid Miss­ion (NSGM) dashboard, a total of 222 million smart meters were sanctioned in India, with 7.9 million already installed. Moreover, regulatory bodies also offer financial incentives, such as grants or tax breaks, to expedite the adoption of smart meter technology. This, in turn, is propelling the smart electric meter market demand. For instance, in June 2022, the Ministry of Power in India launched the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) initiative, which aims to improve the operational efficiency and financial sustainability of discoms. The scheme incorpora­tes all projects sanctioned under programs, such as the Deen­dayal Upadhyay Gram Jyoti Yojana, the Integrated Po­wer Development Scheme, the Prime Minister's Development Pack­age 2015, etc. Additionally, the main objectives of smart metering initiatives under the RDSS are to reduce AT&C losses to 12 to 15%, lower the average cost of supply-average revenue realized gap to zero by the financial year 2024-25, enhance the reliability, quality, and affordability of power supply to consumers by creating a financially sustainable and operationally efficient distribution sector, etc. In line with this, they are also collaborating with utility companies to initiate large-scale smart meter rollouts, thereby aiming to replace outdated meters with smart ones. For instance, in September 2023, the Union Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy in India informed that the RDSS guidelines mandated the roll-out of smart meters via public-private partnership (PPP) on total expenditure (TOTEX) mode to provide support to DISCOMS and avoid post-implementation operational issues. Apart from this, in June 2023, the Ministry of Energy launched a pilot program with the support of the United Nations Development Programme to install smart meters for measuring electricity consumption in Moldova, Europe.

Continuous Technological Advancements

The increasing integration of machine learning (ML) algorithms and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enhance the capabilities and reliability of smart electric meters is positively influencing the smart electric meter market outlook. Additionally, these innovations offer predictive maintenance, provide real-time data analytics, even adapt to changing usage patterns, etc., which is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. For example, in July 2023, Bern-based BKW announced the deployment of a meter data management platform across their meter network in Switzerland. Besides this, the introduction of comprehensive energy management systems is also contributing to the market growth. For instance, in December 2023, Vector Technology Solutions (VTS) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) developed the platform named Diverge that optimizes high-frequency data from smart electricity and gas meters in businesses and homes and assists energy companies in managing renewable power sources. Furthermore, the elevating popularity of wireless communication technologies has made the operation and deployment of smart meters more practical and less expensive, which is stimulating the market. For example, in December 2023, Bharti Airtel, one of the telecom operators, entered into a strategic partnership with IntelliSmart Infrastructure to connect up to 2 crore smart meters with the Internet of Things technology.

Need for Real-Time Data

The growing consumer requirement for transparency in billing is fueling the smart electric meter market revenue. Apart from this, these meters offer customers with detailed insights into their energy consumption patterns, thereby encouraging them to make informed decisions. For instance, in March 2024, GB distribution company Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) made its full smart meter half-hourly consumption datasets available as open access. Moreover, SSEN became one of the first network operators in Britain to make such data available, having pioneered the development of an open data portal for the distribution of data in the country. Besides this, key companies are focusing on improving customer satisfaction by investing more in smart electric meter technology, which is elevating the smart electric meter market's recent price. For example, in October 2023, Data Communications Company (DCC) and the UK's Energy Systems Catapult accelerated access to smart meter data for greater transparency. Additionally, the inflating demand for data-driven insights that are mutually beneficial for customers and utility providers is expected to drive the market in the coming years. For instance, in February 2024, GE Vernova introduced GridOS Data Fabric, which is specifically designed to help utilities in operating smart grids.

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) dominate the market

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type. This includes advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and automatic meter reading (AMR). According to the report, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) represented the largest segment.

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is dominating the market as it allows real-time data collection, thereby providing immediate insights into energy consumption patterns. Besides this, AMI systems assist in minimizing the chances of billing errors and disputes. Apart from this, they allow two-way communication between the central system and the meter, thereby facilitating remote monitoring and even firmware updates. Furthermore, advanced metering infrastructure aids in detecting and isolating outages quickly, thereby improving the overall reliability and efficiency of the electric grid. Consequently, it is gaining extensive traction across the globe. For example, in November 2023, Trilliant, one of the leading international providers of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), announced the collaboration with IntelliSmart Infrastructure Private Limited, one of the prominent digital solutions providers in India, as one of its software partners for its Head-end System (HES) cellular implementations.

Breakup by Phase:

  • Single Phase
  • Three Phase
     

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the phase. This includes single phase and three phase.

As per the smart electric meter market statistics, single-phase smart electric meters are mainly used in residential settings, which represent most electricity consumers. In line with this, the operation of single-phase meters is relatively straightforward, making them easier to maintain, and use. Three-phase smart electric meters are widely adopted in both commercial and industrial settings, which often have higher power requirements. Moreover, they allow more efficient and balanced power distribution, particularly in settings with variable loads or heavy machinery, making them the preferred choice for industries.

Breakup by End User:
