Market Dynamics
The establishment of a water resilience strategy to counter scanty rainfall and drought-prone areas can drive the Europe smart water meter market growth. This is driven by agreements between utility departments of governments and private players to ensure the installation of smart water meters. Moreover, the formation of national-level funds to spur water conservation efforts for the digitalization of water infrastructure and improving outcomes can bode well for the market.
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) in leveraging predictive analytics for providing accurate readings in smart water meters can bode well for the market. Moreover, the integration of meter data management and billing systems can earn customer trust and contribute to the revenue of countries. On March 05, 2025, Anglian Water Services Limited installed 1.1 million meters provided by Sensus. This can be used to conserve water and stop leakages.
Market Opportunity: Integration with Smart City Initiatives
The establishment of smart cities, followed by the modernization of legacy infrastructure, can augur favorably for the European smart water meter market. Geopolitical conflicts and rising energy prices are rallying the call for water conservation efforts in the region. The installation of smart water meters as part of sustainability roadmaps and the addressing of water supply risks can spur the market growth. This is facilitated by the transition to 4G and 5G networking technologies and improvements in real-time data collection and network reliability.
Market Challenge: Low Internet Penetration
The low internet penetration rate in certain countries poses a challenge for smart water meters. It restricts their ability to measure precise readings and manage the efficiency of water utilities. But, the installation of smart grids combined with the deployment of narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) and long-term evolution for machines (LTE-M) across Europe, can help the market provide maximum coverage for its customers.
