The global smart water meter market size is expected to reach USD 13.94 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Smart Water Meter Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Technology, Application (Water Utilities and Industries), Meter Type, Component, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

A smart water meter is an intelligent metering device that enables automated and remote monitoring of water consumption, improving efficiency and sustainability.

One of the major trends shaping the smart water meter market expansion is the integration of advanced data analytics and AI-driven insights. These technologies improve real-time monitoring, allowing predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and precise demand forecasting. Utilities can optimize water distribution, reduce non-revenue water losses, and improve overall system efficiency by leveraging AI and machine learning. The adoption of AI-powered smart metering solutions continues to gain momentum as digital transformation accelerates across industries.

Another trend shaping the smart water meter market development is the increasing adoption of cloud-based and IoT-enabled metering infrastructure. Cloud connectivity improves data accessibility, allowing utilities to monitor water usage remotely and streamline billing processes with greater accuracy. IoT integration facilitates seamless communication between smart meters and central management systems, allowing automated alerts for leaks, abnormal consumption patterns, and system malfunctions. This trend is driving a shift toward fully connected water networks, improving resource management and operational efficiency. Thus, as utilities seek scalable and cost-effective solutions, cloud-based and IoT-enabled smart water meters are expected to witness widespread adoption.

Smart Water Meter Market Report Highlights

In terms of application, the water utilities segment led the smart water meter market expansion in 2024, driven by the growing adoption of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) by municipal water authorities.
