Metering Infrastructure); Components (Controlling Units, Display Storage &
Integrated Software, and Others); and Applications (Residential, Industrial) –
Global Analysis and Forecast”
Smart Water Meter Market to 2025 – Global Analysis and Forecast by Types,
Components, and End-Users. Smart Water Meter market is expected to grow to US$
3,832.0 Mn by 2025 from 1,506.2 Mn in 2017. The smart water meter technology is
increasing the interest among the water management authorities across the globe
owing to varied advantages over the conventional systems. This advanced
technology is helping the authorities to gather real-time information on water
loss through leakage or illegal tapping, the technology is also becoming
vulnerable to cyber-attacks, as the data logged through the integrated loggers
are stored or uploaded on cloud or manufacturer designed storage point.
Attributing to the new and advanced technology, the cyber-attack personnel or
are acquiring the smart water meter technology and getting hold of various
software and communication system, aiding them to acquire information about the
water management systems over a region. This is a key threat to the water
management authorities in securing crucial information.
As per the requirement for real-time data tracking, the water utility management authorities are pressuring the smart water meter manufacturers to integrate the systems with enhanced technologies that would cater the purpose. Owing to the demand for technologically enriched systems, the manufacturers are embedding the systems with enhanced sensors, communication devices, and data platforms, however, these components are susceptible to track and hack by the cyber attackers in order to gather valuable information, in turn, impact adversely on the system. Pertaining to vulnerability to cybercrime, the adoption of smart water meters among the end users in limited, which is impacting negatively on the growth of the market.
The smart water meter market has been segmented on the basis of types into Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and Automated Meter Reading (AMR). Additionally, the market is also segmented on the basis of components that constitute the smart water meter system. These components include controlling unit; display, storage & integrated software; and others. Residential sector and Industrial sector constitute the end-users segment for the smart water meter market.
