Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Market Outlook - 2030
The global advanced metering infrastructure market size was valued at $ 17.1 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $ 52.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12.0% from 2021 to 2030. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks, and data management systems that allows utilities and consumers to communicate in two directions. The system provides a number of important functions that were not previously possible or had to be performed manually, such as the ability to automatically and remotely measure electricity use, connect & disconnect service, detect tampering, identify & isolate outages, and monitor voltage.
The growth of the global advanced metering infrastructure market is driven by increase in penetration of Internet of Things (IoT). In addition, the demand for AMI communications networks is projected to increase considerably in the coming future, owing to rise in requirement for low-bandwidth, low-cost, and delay-insensitive metering. Both of the meter's network and communications module must be as inexpensive as feasible. Narrow-band power-line-communication (PLC) and RF-Mesh are the major communication technologies driving AMI adoption in the early days. Newer technologies such as broadband PLC and low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN) are gaining high traction in the market, as communication technology has developed. These are some of the advanced metering infrastructure market trends observed globally.
The global advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) market is segmented into product type, end-user, and region. On the basis of product type, the market is segregated into smart metering devices (electricity, gas water), solutions (meter communication infrastructure and software), and services (system integration, deployment and program consulting). The end-users covered in the study include residential, commercial, and industrial. Region wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global advanced metering infrastructure market
- The COVID-19 pandemic has positively influenced the advanced metering infrastructure market growth, as the energy & utility sector are considered essential services that have forced the sector to rethink how their operations are performed and how they engage with both their staff and their customers..
- However, the pandemic impacted commercial and industrial job sites, causing load patterns to shift, as well as utilities' important role in society's power supply.. It has since become every utility’s struggle to ensure that uninterrupted operation and delivery continue while adhering to the necessary social distancing guidelines required safeguarding employees and customers.
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, transport limitations were implemented, resulting in reduced industrial production and disrupted supply chains, which affected global economic growth by a substantial proportion, severely impacting market growth.
- Companies are not earning any profit as a result of halt in operations. Not only the companies are losing money but they are also losing suppliers who are providing the required materials to various companies to be used in construction sector.
- Furthermore, due to social distancing norms during COVID-19, the manufacturing companies are working with limited workforce, thus negatively impacting the production and construction processes.
