The next stage is ensuring everyone has access to gas is installing smart gas meters in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. Government rules and regulations have forced the market for smart gas meters to increase the world's GDP. Collaboration between gas exploration firms and manufacturers of smart gas meters also helps with this. The market will grow quickly in the coming years because there are no discrepancies in gas meters. In addition, rising safety regulations and concerns have caused the market for smart gas meters to grow by double digits over the past few years.

Digital technologies are predicted to improve global systems' connectivity, efficiencies, dependability, and sustainability in the upcoming years. New digital applications like shared mobility, smart appliances, and 3D printing are made possible by technological data analytics and communication improvements. The ongoing and continual development of the communication network infrastructure aids the production of advanced-level gas meters. The development of gas meters is accelerated by the availability of network infrastructure such as 5G, 4G, radio frequency, and others. The smart gas meters industry is expanding due to the manufacturers' ongoing manufacturing of advanced-level smart gas meters by the expanding network infrastructure.

Installing smart gas meters is motivated by end customers' rising desire for data. In 2019, households spent an average of GBP 655 on gas, according to the United Kingdom's Department of Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy. In their homes, almost 23.5 million people utilize gas for cooking and heating. British Petroleum estimates that the United Kingdom consumed 78.8 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2019. As a result of the reduction in GHG emissions, consumers are urged to understand their usage patterns to lower their overall consumption and bills. Gas consumption is rising globally across home, industrial, and commercial applications, enhancing the Smart Gas Meters Market CAGR in recent years.

Favorable government policies, the growth of communication network infrastructure, and rapid advancements in sophisticated metering infrastructure are the main drivers of the market size for smart gas meters. Utilities are implementing these technologies due to their numerous advantages. For instance, in May 2020, Indianapolis Power & Light, a U.S. utility, chose Landis+Gyr to enhance its program for advanced metering infrastructure. To optimize data telemetry from already installed smart gas meters, they would deploy 350,000 smart meters and upgrade the utility's current network. This is expected to improve the management of energy distribution, the integration of renewable resources, consumer energy efficiency, and service quality. The market for smart gas meters is growing due to increased development and the need for advanced metering infrastructure, another factor driving the growth of the smart gas meters market revenue.
