Smart Gas Market Size, Share, Growth Report 2030

Smart Gas Market: Overview

The Global Smart Gas Market accounted for USD 11,785.8 Million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 60,154.5 Million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 24.8% from 2021 to 2028.

The term smart gas refers to the proper monitoring of gas utilities remotely. There are devices installed on the gases so as to provide the real-time information to the customer, manufacturers and distributors. Smart meters aids in the collection, storage, and transmission of meter data to the central server. The market for global smart gas is being driven by rising energy demand, rapid urbanization, and technological advancements. Analytics and Data Management, Remote Monitoring, Geographic Information System (GIS), Asset Management, Network and Application Security are all part of Smart Gas Solutions. Hence the smart gas is increasing at phenomenal rate.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the market for smart gas meters is expected to decline in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the power industry's growth, as many countries have implemented nationwide lockdowns to prevent the virus from spreading further. According to the IEA report, Energy Efficiency 2020, global progress on using more efficient energy sources has slowed as a result of the economic impacts of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, in some countries, electricity use in residential buildings increased by 20% in the first half of 2020, while it decreased by about 10% in commercial buildings. As a result of the increased time spent at home as a result of the pandemic, energy consumption has increased, resulting in significant and complex shifts in energy demand. With the reduction in industrial power demand, utilities are expected to invest very little in the replacement of aging grid infrastructure and new installations.

Smart Gas Market: Growth Factors

The growing urge to reduce energy losses and the need to improve energy security are also seen as major drivers of market growth. The increased adoption of gas, as well as numerous regulatory policies implemented in many regions, should be viewed as a market growth opportunity. Digitalization has accelerated across multiple industries, including gas and electricity, due to the growing adoption of IoT. Grid operators and energy companies can now provide modern energy services due to enhanced IoT communication networks. In addition to high data processing capacity and IoT, digitalization includes hybrid cloud infrastructure, which will allow networks to be managed in a more flexible and efficient manner. For example, Microsoft (US) and SNAM (Italy) launched the first joint project on IoT and cloud for the technological and long-term development of energy networks in August 2020.
