According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Advanced Metering Infrastructure Market is accounted for $26.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $65.2 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) refers to a modern system of utility meters that enable two-way communication between the meter and the utility company. Unlike traditional meters, AMI meters can record and transmit consumption data at frequent intervals, often in real-time. This technology allows for more accurate and timely billing, as well as enhanced monitoring of energy usage patterns. AMI typically involves the deployment of smart meters equipped with communication modules that can transmit data over various networks, such as wireless or powerline communication.
According to Mercom Capital, the state of Uttar Pradesh in India had the most smart meters installed nationwide in January 2022, with over 1.15 million of them.
Rising demand for operational efficiency
Advanced Metering Infrastructure, a sophisticated system integrating smart meters, communication networks, and data management systems, enables utilities to remotely monitor and manage energy consumption more efficiently. As industries and consumers alike seek to optimize resource utilization and reduce costs, the adoption of AMI solutions becomes increasingly imperative. The real-time data collection and analytics capabilities of AMI not only streamline metering processes but also empower utilities with actionable insights for demand forecasting, load balancing, and outage management.
Data privacy and security
Data privacy and security concerns have become significant barriers in the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) market. With the proliferation of smart meters, collecting granular data on energy consumption, consumers are increasingly wary of potential breaches of their personal information. The collection and transmission of sensitive data raise concerns about unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential misuse by third parties. Consequently, these concerns hinder the widespread adoption of AMI solutions as consumers and regulatory bodies demand robust safeguards to protect their privacy and ensure data security, slowing down the market's growth and innovation.
Increasing awareness about energy conservation
AMI systems enable real-time monitoring and management of energy consumption, empowering both utilities and consumers to make informed decisions about energy usage. With the rising awareness of environmental sustainability and the need to reduce carbon footprints, governments and organizations worldwide are implementing policies and initiatives to promote energy conservation. Advanced metering infrastructure plays a crucial role in this endeavor by providing accurate and granular data on energy consumption patterns, facilitating targeted interventions and efficiency improvements.
Legacy infrastructure
Legacy infrastructure poses significant challenges to the advancement of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) market. Outdated systems lack the flexibility and interoperability needed to integrate modern smart metering technologies seamlessly. This incompatibility leads to higher implementation costs, increased complexity in deployment, and compromised efficiency in data management. Legacy infrastructure often lacks the necessary cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive consumer data, raising concerns about privacy and data breaches. The reliance on aging infrastructure also limits the scalability and innovation potential of AMI solutions, hindering utilities' ability to adapt to evolving energy demands and customer needs.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) market. Initially, the global supply chain disruptions caused manufacturing delays and shortages of essential components, hindering the deployment of AMI systems. Lockdown measures and social distancing protocols slowed down field installations and maintenance activities, affecting project timelines. However, the pandemic also underscored the importance of AMI solutions in ensuring efficient utility operations and enabling remote management capabilities.
The Smart Metering Devices segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Smart Metering Devices segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period by introducing innovative technologies that optimize energy management and enhance utility operations. These devices employ cutting-edge functionalities such as real-time data collection, remote monitoring, and two-way communication capabilities, enabling utilities to efficiently manage electricity, gas, and water distribution networks. By integrating smart meters into the infrastructure, utilities can remotely gather consumption data, detect faults, and perform diagnostics, leading to improved efficiency, reduced operational costs and enhanced customer service.
The Commercial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Commercial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. As businesses strive for greater efficiency and sustainability, the demand for advanced metering solutions has surged. AMI enables commercial entities to monitor and manage their energy consumption in real-time, providing granular insights into usage patterns and facilitating proactive measures to optimize resource utilization. The integration of AMI with other smart technologies like IoT and data analytics enables businesses to implement predictive maintenance strategies, identify areas for cost savings, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
North America region commanded the largest share of the market over the extrapolated period. Demand Response Programs across the region enable utilities to manage peak demand by incentivizing consumers to adjust their electricity usage during periods of high demand. Through advanced metering infrastructure, utilities can remotely monitor and control energy consumption in real-time, offering consumers insights into their usage patterns and encouraging more efficient energy practices throughout the region. By participating in demand response programs, consumers contribute to grid stability and reduce the need for costly infrastructure upgrades. These elements are boosting the regional growth.
Europe region is estimated to witness profitable growth during the projection period. With a focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, and grid modernization, European governments have implemented stringent regulations mandating the adoption of advanced metering systems. These regulations often require utilities to deploy smart meters, which enable real-time monitoring of energy consumption and facilitate more accurate billing across the region. As a result, the AMI market in Europe is experiencing substantial growth, driven by the necessity to meet regulatory requirements and achieve energy sustainability goals.
Key players in the market
Some of the key players in Advanced Metering Infrastructure market include ABB Ltd, Aclara Technologies LLC, Badger Meter Inc, Cisco Systems Inc, Echelon Corporation, Elster Group GmbH, Honeywell International Inc, IBM Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Schneider Electric SE, Siemens AG, Toshiba Corporation and Trilliant Holdings Inc.
In October 2022, The Linux Foundation (LF) Energy has announced the Super Advanced Meter (SAM), which focuses on a widely applicable smart meter data gateway. The new software is expected to hasten both the energy transition and the transformation of the meter into a reliable virtual node in the energy grid. The main objective of the project is a broadly applicable smart meter data gateway.
In July 2022, ITRON, Inc. announced the establishment of the Iron Engage Sales Channel Partner Program for utilities and municipalities in Asia-Pacific. With the aid of Itron Engage's expansion, trustworthy, highly skilled partners now have access to the tools, support, and training they need to apply Iron's solutions to benefit their customers and improve energy and water management.
