Covid-19 effect: The pandemic has adverse effects on industries related to the smart metre market as the industry comes under non-essential businesses. The imposition of lockdowns resulted in delayed start-ups for power distribution systems across the globe. The shipments and installations of smart metres also witnessed a downfall. Companies and governments postponed their power infrastructure plans and investments. However, it has shifted to contactless and remote metering solutions with enhanced investments. Reduced infrastructure development investment and a low return on investment delayed smart metering.During the pandemic, the demand for smart electric metres decreased. There was limited supply of smart metres as the manufacturers faced supply problems owing to halted production. Consequently, the manufacturing and supply of smart metres is returning to normal levels. Several manufacturers have started to witness a recovery in sales.
The smart meter's main advantages include the detection of any leaks in the supply; continuous monitoring of the electricity, gas, and water flow; and detection of any theft in the supply. Smart metres also assist in the elimination of manual monthly metre readings and the optimization of profit with existing resources. Smart meter adoption reduces blackouts and failures of utility systems and helps achieve carbon neutrality.
By component, software and services are expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period. The software and cloud computing revolution has resulted in massive growth for smart devices, making smart metering systems an absolute requirement.Improved communication between consumers and service utilities, vast data management with multiple users, smart payment options using mobile phones, and increased billing transparency are propelling market growth.
By communication type, the cellular segment is expected to lead the market growth with large scale applications. GPRS, 3G, or 4G networks are used for quick service, low investment costs, and good performance. Since this is wireless technology, it can be easily used in remote areas across small towns and villages. The key factors driving this technology are: no maintenance costs for communication networks; data transmission is faster; and good network reach.

By technology, AMI leads the market with over 60% as it enables the gathering and transfer of energy and utility usage information in near real-time. The main distinction between the two technologies is the two modes of communication.The new roll out plans are mainly of AMI metre technology to maintain transparency between the utility provider and the end user with precise readings. AMR technology metres are being replaced by AMI technology rapidly by reducing equipment and maintenance costs, as thefts can be detected easily and power outages can be restored more quickly.
By end-user, the residential sector accounted for the largest share of the smart metre market. This is driven by the increased use of smart home appliances in residential buildings. Smart metres help in integrating distributed energy resources, energy storage technologies, and EV charging facilities. In the future, the commercial sector is rapidly replacing smart metres for efficient electricity usage and renewable energy integration into the grid. While the industrial sector is expected to replace existing metres for effective load management and forecasting and reduce energy thefts.
