COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Various countries across the globe halted the implementation of smart meters and smart cities projects due to alarming rise in COVID-positive patients, which, in turn, hampered the growth of the market. In addition, a number of governing bodies across the globe are taking initiatives to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus by initiating various policies. However, surge in adoption of smart meters across the globe to provide smart billing systems and real-time updates on faulty meter drive the growth of the market in the pandemic situation. For instance, according to a research report published by SMS PLC in June 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown period, around 21.5 million smart meters where deployed in the Great Britain by 2020. Thus, to manage large volume of data generated from these meters, the Government of Britain adopted smart meter data management software, which provides lucrative opportunity for the market.
Top Impacting Factors
Rise in Adoption of Advanced Metering Infrastructure Technologies
Numerous benefits provided by the advanced metering technology, such as ability to detect outages and facilitation of real-time energy consumption patterns for end users fuel the adoption of advanced meter infrastructure (AMI) technology. Moreover, increase in energy demand, government mandates, and legislative compliances toward smart metering, and rise in need for improved customer service level and utility efficiency boost the market growth.
High Installation Costs of Smart Meters
Multiple components are associated with the deployment of smart meters, including a handheld device, communication network, MDMS, MDA, and other software. Furthermore, services related to smart meter deployments, such as consulting, maintenance, installation, integration, and upgradation incur additional costs, which considerably hampers the deployment of smart meter data management software. Moreover, challenges associated with traditional and advanced system integrations among many organizations have speculated the growth of the market, especially among SMEs. In addition, shun of cost factor required to implement big data initiatives and analytical models is a major factor expected to hinder the market growth to a certain extent.
Increase in Volume of Meter Data
Significant increase in meter data volume, resulting from the collection of interval data, prompts utilities to employ next-generation meter data management applications, which is anticipated to provide numerous opportunities for the market expansion. For instance, according to a report from the Edison Foundation published in 2018, the U.S. alone logs around one million of data points every day from more than 46 million installed smart meters. In addition, rise in deployment of smart meters at the residential customer’s level is expected to increase the generation of data volume, from monthly or annual frequency to daily and even intraday resolution, which generates the need for meter data management system.
