Europe Smart Meter Industry Overview
The European smart meter market is competitive, with some local and international players active. With the market expected to broaden and yield more opportunities, more players will enter the market soon, fragmenting the competitive landscape during the forecast period. Key players in the market include Elster Group GmbH, Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG, etc.
In February 2023, Netmore, a Swedish IoT operator, started rolling out a LoRaWAN network in France, targeting smart water metering and other large-scale IoT and utility projects. The rollout forms the next step in expanding Netmore's LoRaWAN infrastructure, which, according to the company, is now available in the UK, Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands, France, and Spain.
In January 2023, the German government announced the adoption of a draft law to restart the digitalization of the energy transition and accelerate the rollout of smart metering. According to the government, the law will likely enter into force in the Spring of 2023, enabling large-scale smart metering rollout to start immediately before becoming mandatory in 2025.
