Rising demand for smart meter in water, electricity, and gas management in emerging countries is the key factors attributed to the market growth. Moreover, supportive government policies along with subsidies and incentives and growing projects in electricity and increasing up-gradation of transmission & distribution infrastructure further grows the demand for smart meters. On the other hand, initial investment by the end users is acting as a restraint to this market. However, continuous development in smart grid, infrastructure development, growing population and rise in economic developments is expected to create major growth opportunities during the forecast period. Design and maintenance of smart meters, lack of compatibility with other devices, and improper installation of smart meters act as a major challenge in the global smart meter market.
