Smart water meters accurately track water consumption across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Equipped with leak detection capabilities, they identify irregular usage patterns that may indicate potential leaks. These battery-powered devices leverage long-range, low-power wireless connectivity to transmit data remotely. They enable utilities, municipalities, and cities to better manage water supply and demand, lower operational costs, and meet sustainability goals. By automating usage tracking and reducing water losses across the distribution network, utilities can streamline billing without manual readings. This enhanced transparency not only boosts customer satisfaction but also encourages more efficient water use. Various players across the globe offer smart meters for water. NXP Semiconductors, Itron Inc., and Sagemcom are among the key providers.

Smart gas meter enable gas companies to remotely monitor customer consumption, optimizing operational efficiency, and ensuring accurate billing. Equipped with remotely controlled valves, these meters allow for remote gas activation and deactivation. Powered by low-voltage batteries to enhance lifespan and mitigate ignition risks, smart gas meters utilize ultrasonic or electromagnetic technologies to measure gas flow. Efficient remote operation is supported by low-power, long-range wireless connectivity. Various players globally are launching smart meters for gas. For example, in November 2023, Honeywell announced the European launch of its 100% hydrogen-capable diaphragm gas meter, the Honeywell EI5 smart gas meter, which has been successfully piloted in the Netherlands. This launch supports the region’s objectives under the European Green Deal. The new meter is designed to measure both hydrogen and natural gas, offering flexibility across European markets. By deploying these meters, utilities can avoid future replacements during the transition to hydrogen networks, thereby reducing long-term costs and improving operational sustainability.

Smart Meter Market future trend: Advanced meter technologies — particularly ultrasonic and electromagnetic measurement methods — address fundamental limitations of traditional mechanical meters, bringing high‑precision, low‑maintenance operation and enhanced data integrity into water utility infrastructure. Unlike moving‑part mechanical meters that degrade over time, ultrasonic and electromagnetic meters operate without physical contact components, which reduces wear and long‑term maintenance needs and enhances reliability for utilities seeking sustainable solutions.

Ultrasonic smart water meters, which measure flow using sound waves, are garnering attention for their superior accuracy across a range of flow conditions and their ability to deliver real‑time consumption data. The absence of moving parts ensures stable performance over years of service, improving billing precision and operational forecasting while lowering lifecycle costs for utilities. In Panchkula, India, municipal authorities installed ultrasonic AMR water meters integrated with SCADA systems to enhance monitoring, minimize water wastage, and support accurate billing through remote data collection. Electromagnetic smart water meters excel in environments with variable water quality and larger pipe systems, providing accurate flow measurement via induced voltage created as conductive fluid passes through a magnetic field. Their robustness and compatibility with advanced metering infrastructure frameworks help utilities reduce non‑revenue water and integrate with digital water management platforms. Ultrasonic and electromagnetic technologies improve metering accuracy and system longevity as well as serve as enablers for real‑time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and deeper integration with IoT platforms, reinforcing their role as a key trend in the smart meter market.
