Trends, Drivers & Challenges to Market Growth

According to our global market study on the basis of extensive primary and secondary research:  “One trend in market is the convergence of smart metering and distribution automation has long been under way. For instance, North American utilities have successfully integrated AMI data with other operational technologies such as outage and distribution management systems and of the 11 largest smart metering projects, seven use meter data for outage management, six for theft detection and four for asset management – and almost all the rest are in the process of doing the same or planning to.”

According to the report, major driving factor for expansion of smart meter market is metering data is more integrated and has growing application as utilities in emerging economies are exploring the use of smart meters for applications ranging from grid reliability to theft detection.

Further, the report states that the major challenge is weak policy support and low penetration rates, for example in Europe, small distribution utilities represent a slither of the overall market and one notable exception is Germany, which has 48 million electricity customers and almost 900 distribution operators. However, Germany is a laggard on smart metering and is not anticipated to widespread investment until the mid-2020s.
