Growing need for water conservation and minimizing water wastage is presumed to impel industry growth.

Smart water meters are primarily aimed to track accurately and monitor water usage in industries, homes, and other avenues. Increasing water scarcity, climate volatility, quality issues, and energy risks are few dynamics expected to impact the smart water meters market growth favorably.

Increasing water usage in industries such as automotive, food & beverage, manufacturing, construction, and the chemical is supposed to contribute significantly to the trade growth.

Rising technological advancement and growing non-government body initiatives to save water are anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Growing population coupled with increasing demand in water application areas expected to fuel the demand for efficient and intelligent water management techniques.

Technological proliferation and integration of water point monitoring with mobile technology are anticipated to eliminate the water metering constraints thereby providing efficiency in water supply planning. Thus helping in the emergence of equipment through which water pump metering and malfunctioning can be adequately measured.

However, lack of acceptance owing to the high installation cost involved is expected to challenge the market growth over the forecast period. Factors such as infrequent meter reading and limited bandwidth, of the remote sensing water meter are further likely to hinder the industry growth. Sustainable water pricing initiatives and increased government spending are projected to drive the demand of smart water meter over the next seven years. Rising industry demand of using smart water meters with two-way communication is further expected to contribute to the industry growth. Benefits offered by these meters such as time bases synchronized meter readings and system monitoring & control are estimated to contribute remarkably to market expansion. Furthermore, such two-way systems enable users to maintain an infrastructure that helps in water metering and monitoring pressure and quality of the system.

The smart water meters industry is estimated to grow significantly in the North American region owing to the presence of numerous companies dedicated to providing solutions to water management techniques.

There exists a high demand for water metering equipment in the automobile, manufacturing, and construction sectors. Increasing campaigns and initiatives by non-governmental organizations to save water is fueling industry growth in countries such as the U.S. and Canada.

Growing R&D efforts to provide efficient remote sensing water metering technique, and increasing public initiatives for water leakage reduction has triggered industry growth in the European region. The region has been very responsive in adopting the advanced technologies such as automatic meter reading (AMR), pressure water meter (PWM), and district water meter (DWM).Large scale adoption of such techniques is instrumental in maintaining the industry prospects upbeat in the European region.

Germany, France, UK and Italy are expected to emerge as key markets owing to increased administrative focus and rising government initiatives for subsidizing water meters. Furthermore, growing end-use industrial dependence on water resource is projected to propel smart water meters market growth over the next seven years.
