Pune, India, July 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The smart meters market has been witnessing significant growth in recent years. According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global smart meters market would garner exponential accruals by 2023, registering over 8.7% CAGR throughout the forecast period (2017 to 2023).
A smart meter can read and display the consumption of electricity, gas, and water and also helps in controlling their usages. It can show accurate real-time data and advanced data analytics for the day-to-day utilization of electricity/gas/water.
Moreover, the smart meters can automatically send the collected data to the suppliers and users on their mobile application. Accessing wireless meters reading network and software on a handheld/ mobile unit, operators can get the meter reading, remotely.

Such advantages of smart meters save a whole lot of time and energy of operators, spent on a personal visit required to get the meter reading. In addition to the consumption information, the collected data also provides details about valve and battery status.
Smart meters are fully automated and can switch-on and off the power supply on the command of a wireless software or handheld unit such as smartphone; therefore, eradicating chances of probable accidents in cases like gas/electricity leakages, etc. Smart meters are increasingly replacing the traditional meters owing to their advantages such as energy-efficient consumption control, etc.
Additional factors driving the growth of the global smart meters market include rising government initiatives and mandates to implement smart meters in households and commercial application. These government initiatives are also spreading awareness about the smart and efficient usages of these meters.
Some of the major players such as Landis+Gyr, Itron, and Sensus are playing a significant role in the development of impressive infrastructure required for the implementation of smart grids at the ground level. This, in turn, bellwethers the market landscape in the years to come.
Conversely, there are some glitches in these smart meters too, such as compatibility issues. Most of the smart gas meters are designed to be compatible with their suppliers. Meaning, these supposedly smart meters installed in households are not adaptable to the other or the rival supplier’s connections. Switching suppliers needs reverting the meter to an inactive mode just as the good old traditional meters. Also, terrorists can use these meters for the surveillance and to snoop on citizens.
Such issues, coupled with the high initial cost of smart meters, are obstructing the growth of the market. Nevertheless, advancements in technology are already underway, which would eliminate these issues introducing a new centralized communications network.
