North America has established itself as the dominant regional market for electricity meters with an estimated market share of 35.1% in 2024, due to robust industrial and commercial activity across countries like the U.S. and Canada. With a highly industrialized economy and increasing proliferation of smart grid technologies, the replacement and upgrade demand for advanced metering infrastructure in North America stays consistently high. Presence of leading electricity meter manufacturers and the greatest number of pilot projects for smart meter rollouts provide the region an edge over others. Moreover, standard of living and initiatives towards energy conservation have driven deployment of smart meters for residential consumers significantly.

Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing regional market for electricity meters globally. Countries like China, India, Japan, South Korea and several Southeast Asian nations are witnessing exponential growth in electricity consumption year-on-year due to surging population and rapid industrialization. This has compelled utilities in the region to focus on modernizing aging metering infrastructure and implementing smart grid projects to handle the expanding load efficiently. Government mandates supporting installation of smart meters especially in highly populated nations like China and India offer significant sales opportunities. Favorable policies to promote renewable energy adoption and strengthen power distribution networks through smart grid technologies can drive the market growth in Asia Pacific.

Growing market size along with replacement of obsolete meters indicates that North America will sustain its dominant position. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is projected to outpace others as an attractive market for electricity meter manufacturers. Features like advanced functionalities, communication capabilities, small form factors and competitive pricing will drive their increased preference across various applications. This will enable leading players to augment production capacities and expand their presence in the high potential Asia Pacific region.
