Ultrasonic meter and electromagnetic meter technology segments estimated to be highly lucrative

Based on technology, the global smart water meter market has been divided into ultrasonic meter, electromagnetic meter, and mechanical meter. The mechanical meter segment has been sub-classified into rotary piston, single-jet, multi-jet, combination, nutating disk, and woltman. Ultrasonic meter and electromagnetic meter segments are expected to expand at CAGRs of 15.02% and 14.54%, respectively, during the forecast period. The water meter technology is changing rapidly and utility companies as well as individuals are giving preference to ultrasonic and electromagnetic smart water meters. This is because these meters do not have any moving part, which makes the device maintenance easy. Furthermore, smart water meters allow significant precision in meter reading, due to their superior mechanism. Additionally, these meters are low at production cost and they use the existing cellular networks efficiently for communication with users.

Two-way meter segment projected to expand at a rapid pace

In terms of meter type, the smart water meter market has been segmented into one-way meter and two-way meter. One-way smart water meters allow one-sided communication that allows the user to get the meter reading remotely with the help of drive-by and walk-by methods. One-way smart water meters are based on the AMR (automatic meter reading) system. However, AMR-system-based one-way smart water meters are older-technology products and they are rapidly getting replaced by two-way smart water meters based on the AMI (advanced metering infrastructure) system. Two-way smart water meters offer two-way communication and several other benefits over one-way smart water meters. Along with the capability of remotely collecting the meter reading, they also allow users to get notifications pertaining to the smart water meter battery as well as any kind of water meter malfunction. Moreover, users can send instructions to smart water meters.

North America to continue to hold a major share of the global smart water meter market

North America is expected to hold a major share of the global market for smart water meter during the forecast period. Leading share of the region is primarily attributable to strong presence of well-established players across the region, especially in the prominent economy i.e. the U.S. Moreover, the U.S. Government is investing heavily in deploying innovative smart water meters in place of older water meters across the country. North America is home to several well-established players that manufacture smart water meters, including Badger Meter, Inc., Sensus USA Inc., and Itron Inc. Furthermore, the region is witnessing high adoption of smart water meters due to continuously increasing government investments in the region. Several manufacturers in the region are focusing on enhancing the quality of their quality and developing innovative products to capture a wide customer base. For instance, in June 2018, Itron Inc. introduced an innovative product called Itron Intelis smart water meter at the AWWA Conference. Itron Intelis smart water meters offer additional water management capabilities and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) through Gen5 networks and Itron’s interoperability.

The report includes profiles of well-established players such as Kamstrup A/S, Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG, Badger Meter, Inc., Itron Inc., and Sensus USA Inc. These players are focusing on strategic partnerships. In 2017, Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG partnered with Abunayyan Holding Company, a Saudi Arabia-based provider of water-based solutions, as part of ‘Saudi Vision 2030,’ Saudi Arabia’s development program. As per this partnership, both companies would be collectively supplying more than 700,000 HYDRUS ultrasonic water meters to Saudi Arabia.
