Smart Water Meter Market: Segmentation by Technology

AMI functions include water meter readings, tamper and theft detection, service connection and disconnection, and fault and leakage identification. Coupled with technologically advanced customer-based digital technologies, AMI enables utilities to offer new rate options, thus incentivizing customers to reduce peak demand and water consumption. Factors such as technological advancements over AMR systems, changing needs of water utilities, and product and cost benefits of using AMI water management systems along with electricity and gas services are expected to drive the growth of the AMI segment during the forecast period.

The smart water meter market share growth by the AMI segment will be faster than the growth of the market by the AMR segment. This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the smart water meter market size.

Smart Water Meter Market: Key Drivers and Trends

Water utilities are increasingly adopting various technologies, including smart water meters, for non-revenue water management. This will allow water utilities to expand and improve services, increase climate resilience, enhance financial performance, and minimize water consumption. The use of smart water meters will eliminate the need for onsite meter reading and enable automatic leak detection. Smart water meters will also help customers in tracking their consumption patterns and adjust water consumption accordingly to meet pre-specified conservation efforts. The use of smart water meters for non-revenue water management will help in managing water consumption and thereby enable water conservation. Such benefits of using smart water meters will fuel the growth of the market at a CAGR of almost 11% during the forecast period.

Governments of various countries are focusing on the development of smart cities. Smart cities involve the deployment of various communication devices and IT, such as IoT and cloud-based services, to optimize the use of resources and improve governance, transportation, healthcare, and waste management. The development of smart cities will create new growth opportunities for smart water meter vendors. For instance, under the Smart Cities Mission of Government of India, smart water meters are proposed to be installed in the households of smart cities. Such developments undertaken by governments of various countries will boost the demand for smart water meters during the forthcoming years. Thus, the development of smart cities will be one of the critical smart water meter market trends over the forecast period. The trend will have a significant influence on the growth of the market.
