The global smart gas meter market is projected to reach USD 4.04 billion by 2030, up from USD 2.49 billion in 2024, registering a CAGR of 8.5% over the forecast period. Smart gas meters are becoming vital to modern energy networks, using digital technology to connect utilities and households in real time. This two-way communication makes tracking and understanding gas usage easier, helping companies and consumers manage energy more efficiently and even participate in new energy solutions like home-based storage and generation. As more smart devices join the network through the Internet of Things (IoT), the need for strong, secure, and fast communication systems grows-ensuring everything runs smoothly and safely, even as the number of connected devices skyrockets. Supportive government policies and regulations across the world are pushing for the use of smart grid technologies, including smart gas meters. These initiatives aim to promote energy conservation and improve grid reliability. Recently, the US Department of Energy announced USD 2 million in funding for advanced metering and automation projects that aim to modernize energy infrastructure and have highlighted significant investments in this area. These factors, along with rising demand in industry, commerce, and homes, are driving the use of smart gas meters as essential tools for updating gas networks and creating smarter, more resilient energy systems.

Automated meter reading (AMR) is expected to be the standout feature in the smart gas meter market in the coming years. This growth is fueled by the rising demand for affordable smart gas meters, which can automatically collect readings and eliminate the need for manual checks. The Asia Pacific region is likely to command the maximum share of the market, followed closely by Europe. The growth is mainly due to the extensive rollout of smart gas meters in these geographies' residential, commercial, and industrial areas. This resonates with your interest in smart energy technology and grid modernization as a way to improve efficiency and save costs.
By component, the hardware segment is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period."
The hardware segment is the largest in the global smart gas meter market, accounting for more than 50% of total revenue in 2024 and continuing to dominate through the forecast period. This leadership is driven by the rising demand for advanced metering infrastructure that delivers precise measurement and real-time data capabilities. Hardware devices, such as smart meters, sensors, and communication devices, are the foundation of smart gas metering solutions, which facilitate precise consumption measurement and automatic data collection. Constant innovation in hardware technology has enhanced performance and longevity, aligning with smart gas meters becoming increasingly appealing to utility companies and end-users and driving the market's healthy growth.
By region, Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market for smart gas meters during the forecast period.
The smart gas meter market with the quickest rate of growth is Asia Pacific, with Europe coming in second. China, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific are the countries that make up this region. The region's biggest and fastest-growing market is China. Currently, China is at the forefront of new investments in smart grid technologies.
