The global smart electricity meter market is classified into phase, technology, end-user, and region.

Phase:

Single-phase and three-phase are the segments in which the target market is divided. The single-phase segment dominates smart electricity meter market share, owing to their suitability in high-capacity in industrial and residential area. The single-phase meter is an electric meter, which is specially designed for the use in measuring the power consumption in a single-phase power supply. These meters, only deals with alternating current and not with direct current.

Technology:

By technology, the global smart electricity meter market is segmented into advanced metering infrastructure and auto meter reading. The advanced metering infrastructure segment dominates the target market as they allow for two-way communication between a customer and a utility company. AMI collects and analyze energy usage data and it is also used for electricity, gas, water, and heat.

• For instance, in May 2023, Honeywell launched its next-generation cellular module (NXCM) enabling advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), to upgrade legacy gas and water meters into smart meters without adding additional infrastructure. This innovation allows meters to be wirelessly connected through existing public cellular networks by enhancing monitoring and safety for utility companies and their customers.

End-User:

Global smart electricity meter market by end-user is divided into residential, commercial, and industrial. The smart electric meter is widely used in the residential area making the residential segment is dominate the target market. A smart meter records energy consumption in home and provide real-time data. This data help consumers to save money on their electricity bills.

• For instance, in February 2022, ABB India had launched a new series of electrical measuring and power monitoring meters as the M1M11, M1M DS, MIM 20B, and MIM 30B series to complete power quality analysis and accurately monitor the energy assists for residential, industrial, and commercial building segment.

Region:

Geographically, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Asia Pacific: This is the dominating region in target market due to increasing investment of governments in energy conservation targets and to adopt smart grid technologies. The countries such as, China, India, Japan, and others are making significant investments in smart meters. Increase in renewable energy production gives rise to smart meter installations.
