Smart Gas Meter Global Market Report 2024

A smart gas meter is an electronic device designed to record information such as electric energy consumption, voltage levels, current, power factor, and gas usage. This information provides consumers with a clearer understanding of their gas consumption and usage. Smart gas meters are utilized for measuring energy consumption, calculating costs, and enabling automatic meter readings.

The main types of smart gas meters include smart ultrasonic gas meters and smart diaphragm gas meters. Smart ultrasonic gas meters are compact static gas meters that employ ultrasonic measurement techniques for measuring energy in residential areas where gas is used as an energy source. These meters consist of various components, including hardware and software, employing techniques such as automated meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). Smart gas meters find applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

The smart gas meter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.14 billion in 2023 to $4.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to various factors, including regulatory mandates, a focus on energy efficiency, increasing urbanization, aging infrastructure prompting upgrades, and the application of data analytics in the energy sector.

The smart gas meter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the integration of IoT and connectivity in gas meter technology, the emphasis on data-driven decision-making, increasing consumer awareness, the demand for gas leak detection capabilities, and the overall interest in smart grid technologies. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the development of mobile apps for customer engagement, the use of energy management platforms, the implementation of digital twins for enhanced monitoring, the exploration of blockchain technology for billing purposes, and the rise of green gas monitoring initiatives.

The anticipated growth of the smart gas meter market is expected to be driven by supportive government policies. These policies, implemented by various countries, are geared towards fostering the expansion of specific markets, including the smart gas meter sector. Governments often roll out initiatives supporting the adoption of smart gas meters, providing them to consumers at subsidized rates. As an illustration, in January 2023, the Indian government introduced the Smart Meter National Program (SMNP), aiming to replace 250 million conventional meters with smart meters. This exemplifies the role of government initiatives in fueling the demand for smart gas meters and propelling the market forward.

The surge in demand for smart homes is poised to be a significant driver for the growth of the smart gas meter market. Smart homes, characterized by the integration of various technologies and devices through the internet of things (IoT), are becoming increasingly popular. Smart gas meters contribute to energy efficiency, cost savings, and the creation of safer and environmentally conscious living spaces within these smart homes. For example, in August 2023, data from RubyHome, a US-based real estate company, indicated that 63.43 million homes in the US use smart home devices, and a significant proportion of homebuyers express willingness to invest in smart homes. This increasing demand for smart homes is a key factor propelling the growth of the smart gas meter market.

Major players in the smart gas meter market are making strategic investments to sustain and enhance their businesses. An illustration of this is seen in the plans of Italgas S.p.A., an Italy-based company manufacturing smart gas meters, which announced a substantial investment of €8.6 billion (US$8.8 billion). This investment is intended for creating intelligent gas networks, digitizing corporate procedures, and launching a Power-to-Gas pilot project for converting renewable energy into hydrogen. Additionally, the funding will facilitate the replacement of older-generation GPRS meters with advanced smart meters capable of accurately monitoring gas consumption and providing precise invoicing.

Innovative product development is a focus for major companies in the smart gas meter market, aiming to drive revenue growth. One such innovation is the introduction of ultrasonic prepayment gas meters. These specialized gas meters use ultrasonic technology to measure and monitor natural gas consumption in various settings. Itron Inc., a US-based company manufacturing smart gas meters, launched the Intelis gFlex ultrasonic prepayment gas meter in November 2022. This meter is integrated into a user-friendly software as a service (SaaS) solution, managed through multiple vending channels and credit transfer alternatives, and utilizes NFC technology for data communication, allowing it to function without a connectivity network.

In August 2021, Adani Total, an India-based company engaged in the production of petroleum, gas-related products, and smart gas meters, acquired Smartmeters Technologies Pvt Ltd for a deal amount of USD128,700 (1 crore). This acquisition enhances Adani Total's capabilities in manufacturing smart gas meters and developing prepaid smart meter solutions. Smartmeters Technologies Pvt Ltd., based in India, specializes in manufacturing smart measuring instruments, including prepaid smart gas meters, and offers end-to-end solutions.
