Smart Meters Market to Reach $71.4 Billion by 2035

Smart meters market was valued at $27.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $71.4 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2026 to 2035. The market is witnessing steady growth, driven by increasing digitalisation of energy infrastructure and rising demand for efficient resource management. The rapid deployment of advanced metering systems across utilities is reshaping how electricity, gas, and water consumption is monitored and managed globally. One of the key macro drivers for the market is the global push toward energy efficiency and smart grid adoption. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity demand is expected to grow by nearly 3% annually through 2030, driven by electrification and economic growth. Additionally, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that smart grid investments in the United States alone have exceeded $100 billion over the past decade, supporting widespread deployment of smart meters. These developments directly support the adoption of smart electricity meters, enabling real-time monitoring, reduced transmission losses, and improved billing accuracy.

Government-backed initiatives are also fueling growth. For instance, India’s Smart Meter National Programme (SMNP) aims to replace 250 million conventional meters with smart meters, according to government data. Similarly, the European Commission has mandated member states to achieve significant smart meter penetration, with countries like Italy and Sweden already exceeding 90% adoption rates. These large-scale deployments are creating strong growth momentum for the global smart meters market.

From an application perspective, utilities are increasingly focusing on energy consumption monitoring and demand response programs. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) highlights that over 60% of utilities globally are integrating digital technologies into grid infrastructure, accelerating the adoption of connected metering solutions. Furthermore, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that renewable energy accounted for over 30% of global electricity generation in 2023, necessitating smarter grid systems to manage variable energy sources—further boosting smart meter demand. Among the product types, Smart Electricity Meters represent the fastest-growing segment due to large-scale smart grid rollouts and government mandates. Several strategic developments have further strengthened the market landscape. Key industry developments include:

• In early 2026, Adani Energy Solutions (AESL) announced that it had installed 10 million (1 crore) smart meters across India ahead of its original March 2026 deadline, supported mostly by its Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) contracts under state?level utility programs. The company highlighted an industry?leading deployment pace of about 25,000 meters per day and plans to deliver another 1 crore meters by March 2027 across five states.

• In December 2024, LUMA Energy announced the completion of its open procurement process and the next phase of its Smart Meter Initiative, contracting Itron to lead the deployment of approximately 1.5 million smart meters across Puerto Rico. This project is part of a broader grid-modernisation and resilience program, with Itron’s advanced smart-grid platform—featuring 1.5 million electric smart meters and a new redundant communications network—designed to improve reliability, outage response, customer service, and integration of distributed energy resources.
