South and Central America Smart Meters Market Outlook 2031
The South and Central America smart meters market size was USD 6.34 Million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 12.83 Million by 2031 estimated to grow at a robust CAGR 8.15% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of market is attributed to large scale implementation initiative approved by the government, reducing non-technical losses and eradication of theft, and a ways to control utilities on remote basis and time-based tariffs.
Countries like Brazil and Mexico marshal in Southern America region in implementation of smart meters. Utilities available in Brazil such as Celpa, Light, Eletrobras, AES Eletropaulo and more experimentation with smart meters projected to multimillion-meter deployment.
Growing population increases the water consumption majorly used for 77% for agriculture, 13% for domestic use, and 10% by industries, Mexican residents of northwest, arid-north use average of around 75 gallon of water on the daily basis which is comparatively more than of US residents. Further, the distribution and transmission losses, poor metering, incorrect billing address and name, illegal access are some of the factors that act as a hindrance for the market growth.
COVID-19 pandemic have majorly impacted the rollouts of the smart meters in several parts of the regions of South America resulting in temporary shutdown of many industries, resulting in shipment and installation of smart meters witnessing major downfall by the industry.
