Overview of Report Findings:

  1. Market Growth: The global smart water metering market size was valued at US$ 3.80 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 7.36 billion by 2030; it is expected to register a CAGR of 9.9% during 2023-2031.
  2. Increasing Number of Smart Water Meter Projects across Different Regions: Several initiatives related to water savings and a clean environment have been witnessed globally during 2011–2020. Different government initiatives and nonprofit organizations (NPOs) across the world have been raising awareness for water savings and usage monitoring. This is also leading to the launch of new upgrades to water distribution infrastructure projects by governments of different countries to improve the distribution infrastructure and boost the operational efficiency of the water resources along with better cost savings. The deployment of smart water meters across such old infrastructure is leading to new developments across different regions, which, in turn, is catalyzing the demand for smart water meters.
  3. Nonrevenue Water Monitoring and Control: Nonrevenue water is the discrepancy between the amount of water produced and the amount of water billed to customers. Water loss from source to destination occurs for various reasons, including leaks (physical loss), metering mistakes, manipulation, and theft (apparent losses). The NRW is increasing at an exponential rate, resulting in water scarcity and other concerns. Many smart water meters include alarms to reduce the likelihood of pipeline theft or manipulation. These warning systems help generate income from the end user’s location. The increasing demand for monitoring, controlling, and reducing nonrevenue water is driving companies in the industry to innovate and design robust technologies, which is driving the smart water metering market growth.
  4. Smart Irrigation Systems Through Smart Water Management: Smart irrigation or smart agriculture is a flourishing sector in North America and Europe due to the fact that the regions have sufficient agricultural land. However, they lack human labor and time for the conventional form of agriculture. Smart agriculture or smart irrigation systems involve the usage of several sensors, data loggers, and communication systems along with data platforms with which the operator can easily review the procedures. The advantages of smart water meters in irrigation or agriculture are sensing the amount of water needed and spraying the required amount. It reduces time, minimizes human labor, and enhances accuracy, thereby resulting in high-quality crop yield. Technological advancements in water conservation are highly beneficial to the agriculture industry in countries such as the US, Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Australia, and others. The high adoption of smart technologies in irrigation is expected to bolster the growth of the smart water metering market in the coming years.

The latest software and hardware solutions for electricity, gas, heat, and water metering were also presented.

Several initiatives related to water savings and a clean environment have been witnessed globally during 2011–2020. Different government initiatives and nonprofit organizations (NPOs) across the world have been raising awareness for water savings and usage monitoring. This is also leading to the launch of new upgrades to water distribution infrastructure projects by governments of different countries to improve the distribution infrastructure and boost the operational efficiency of the water resources along with better cost savings. The deployment of smart water meters across such old infrastructure is leading to new developments across different regions, which, in turn, is catalyzing the demand for smart water meters.

Several local governments have been investing heavily in the modernization of water distribution infrastructure to improve the water savings and operational costs for distributing the water across their respective city’s infrastructure. The Environment Act 2021 aims to reduce the consumption of public water supply in England per head of population by 20% by 2037–2038 compared to the 2019–2020 baseline. In response to this, England is deploying smart water meters. For instance, in June 2023, separately, the UK government and the water regulator Ofwat advocated for expediting the smart meter installation and the use of open data. The Environment Agency, an executive non-departmental public body of the UK government, issued the call-in response to the draft water resources management plans of water companies, citing a “crucial” need for demand reductions, particularly in the short term as well as in the long term toward 2050.

Conclusion:

The water supply system is one of the most crucial systems. With the increasing population, it is inevitably anticipated that the demand for water consumption will increase exponentially. A city’s water distribution channel and management systems are required to be viable over a longer period to maintain consistent growth. They should be integrated with technologies that can monitor and check water loss issues. Various developed and developing nations across the world are witnessing a paradigm shift to smart cities. The governments of various countries are adopting the momentum of smart cities, thereby investing in the development of internet infrastructure in the countries with an aim to bring robust urbanization.

The demand for smart water meters is anticipated to witness exponential growth in these smart cities as the smart city initiatives majorly focus on the energy sector. The water utilities in all countries cater to energy sectors as the energy generation sector is one of the prominent consumers of water. Thus, the rising number of smart city projects is expected to create new trends in the smart water metering market during the forecast period.
