This Electric Sub Meter market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The electric sub meter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.0 billion in 2023 to $9.77 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including an increased demand for energy efficiency, stricter regulatory requirements for energy monitoring, rapid urbanization, the expansion of commercial and residential construction, a heightened focus on sustainability, the development of smart grid infrastructure, and the proliferation of renewable energy sources.

The electric sub-meter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.74 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be linked to several factors, including a rising demand for energy efficiency, increasing government regulations that promote smart grid systems, a growing adoption of renewable energy sources, expanding urbanization and infrastructure development, a heightened need for precise energy monitoring in both industrial and residential sectors, and an increasing focus on reducing electricity costs. Key trends expected in this period include advancements in IoT integration for real-time data monitoring, the adoption of smart meters for energy management, the development of advanced billing solutions, the implementation of cloud-based platforms for data analytics, and the adoption of wireless sub-metering technologies.

The anticipated rise in the adoption of renewable energy sources is expected to significantly drive the growth of the electric sub-meter market in the coming years. Renewable energy, derived from naturally replenished resources such as solar, wind, and geothermal power, is sustainable and environmentally friendly. These energy sources contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change. The increasing adoption of renewable energy is motivated by its environmental benefits, including decreased greenhouse gas emissions and its role in mitigating climate change. Electric submeters play a crucial role in managing and optimizing renewable energy systems by monitoring the production, consumption, and distribution of energy generated from sources such as solar, wind, and hydro. For instance, a report from the World Resources Institute in February 2024 noted that the United States achieved a historic installation of 31 gigawatts (GW) of solar energy capacity in 2023, representing a remarkable 55% increase from 2022 and surpassing the previous record set in 2021. Thus, the rise in renewable energy adoption is a key driver for the electric sub-meter market.

Leading companies in the electric sub-meter market are focusing on technological innovations, such as integrating cloud computing platforms into energy meters to improve data accuracy, facilitate real-time energy monitoring, and provide advanced analytics for optimizing energy consumption and lowering operational costs. A cloud computing platform is an online system that offers data storage, processing, and management services. For example, in February 2022, ABB Ltd., a Switzerland-based automation firm, launched the M1M series of electrical measuring and power monitoring meters designed for digital panel meters. The M1M series provides cost-effective submetering solutions for commercial and industrial buildings and integrates with ABB's cloud platform to enable comprehensive system monitoring and energy optimization. These meters improve the efficiency of electrical systems by offering a complete range of measurement functions.

In June 2024, Ancala Partners LLP, a UK-based investment management company, acquired Solandeo GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition will enable Ancala to support Solandeo in delivering high-quality metering services to the expanding German energy market. Solandeo GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in renewable energy semiconductor manufacturing and provides smart meter solutions, including two-phase digital electric submeters.

An electric sub-meter is a device designed to measure and monitor electrical consumption for a specific area or tenant within a larger electrical system. It functions similarly to a central electricity meter but is primarily used to track the electricity usage of individual units or zones within a building. Electric sub-meters are valuable tools for landlords, property managers, and facility operators, facilitating fair billing and efficient energy management.

The primary types of electric sub-metering available in the market include non-socket or electronic submeters, socket or electromechanical submeters, current transformers, and feed-through submeters. Non-socket or electronic submeters are advanced devices that measure electrical consumption without requiring a physical socket connection. These submeters can operate on single-phase or three-phase systems, catering to various applications across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
