COVID-19 ANALYSIS

The coronavirus pandemic has given a very hard time to most of the manufacturing, developing, production, and logistic units of the advanced metering infrastructure market. Due to this pandemic situation, restrictions were imposed by the government of different countries. In these times every person is sitting at home for their jobs and the young ones are attending classes on online platforms which in turn has increased the demand for constant electricity supply. This pandemic has created a lot of positive opportunities for this advanced metering infrastructure market. The advantages of using these advanced meters will reduce the cost of metering and billing systems and allows enhanced control by the consumer over the consumption of electricity and bills. Also due to the closure of all types of manufacturing units, there has been a shortage of electricity supply and due to it, there has been a decrease in demand for these smart meters. But there is a ray of hope that when these restrictions will be lifted the demand for these smart meters will increase by 60%.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure Market Dynamics

DRIVERS

Due to rising urbanization, industrialization, and growing population, there is an increase in the generation of energy which is gaining demand in advanced metering infrastructure. This is one of the major factors that will be responsible for the growth of this advanced metering infrastructure market to a great extent. Also, the increasing demand for the establishment of smart cities and smart grid systems is another factor that will enhance the expansion of this industry during the forecast period. Lastly, the government of different countries is formulating many policies and making the replacement of old meters with the new smart meters mandatory. These policies also mandate the construction of smart grids systems in rural areas too which in turn will increase the demand for smart meters and propel the magnification of this advanced metering infrastructure market. There was the deployment of about 116 million smart meters globally in 2020 which is anticipated to be 450 million meters by 2028.

RESTRAINTS

The shortage of interoperability standards in many countries is one of the major factors that may hamper the growth of this advanced metering infrastructure market. Secondly, the high cost of installation associated with these smart meters is another factor that may act as a barrier to the expansion of this market. In addition to these meters have to be maintained at regular intervals and the costs linked with the maintenance of these meters are very high which is one more element that may hinder the growth of this advanced metering infrastructure market. Lastly, insufficient financial incentives and requirements for improvement in customer service are other factors that may restrict the development of advanced metering infrastructure market.

TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS

With a lot of advancement in smart metering infrastructures, the companies are joining hands with developing their companies to develop some kind of software for the deployment of smart meters that authorizes the communication with meters to collect data. Also, new types of meters are being developed to manage to outsource and reducing the problem of the use of professional operation providers in an enterprise. Massive investments are being made by the key players in the research and development of scrum methodology which will benefit the smart electric and gas meters, communication hub, and others.
