Smart Electricity Meter Market Analysis
The Smart Electricity Meter Market size in terms of shipment volume is expected to grow from 99.34 Million units in 2024 to 129.59 Million units by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.46% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Smart meters deployment enabled the implementation of a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) or Building Energy Management System (BEMS) that allows visualization of the electric power usage in individual homes or entire buildings.
- Energy efficiency is increasingly becoming the primary focus globally, owing to the increasing economic activities, which led to high energy consumption rates and pushed global electricity grids to their limits. The global electricity generation in 2021 stood at 28,466 Terawatt-hours, according to BP.
- Digitization has been further accelerating and modernizing energy efficiency measures due to which the deployment of smart grids has been increasing globally, as they are capable of dynamically optimizing supply and fostering supply of large amounts of electricity from renewable energy sources, such as solar power.
- The recent COVID -19 outbreak and nationwide lockdown across the globe impacted the overall rollout of Smart meters globally. The global COVID -19 pandemic resulted in lockdowns in various parts of the world, which halted several operations across industries. As a result, the shipments and installations of smart meters were also affected.
- However, as the COVID-19 regulations are slowly being eased, the number of smart meters being installed is also expected to witness an increase in the long term. In many developed regions, most energy suppliers have been motivating their customers to upgrade to smart meters as it minimizes direct human interaction and offers several other benefits across the entire value chain, such as incentivizing energy conservation and facilitating easy bill payments, remote meter reading, improving billing and collection efficiency, reducing aggregate technical and commercial losses, and curbing power theft, among others.
- Consumer electronics, office equipment, and other plug loads consume nearly 15% to 20% of the total residential and commercial electricity while not in the primary mode. Most of this energy is consumed when they operate in low-power modes (even while they are not in use). Consumers are increasingly tending to install a smart energy management system to track such scenarios.
