Some of the advantages of smart meters are real time data feeds, automated outage detection, two way communication medium between utility and meters, enhanced accuracy and monitoring of power quality. Electricity distributed by distributed generation (DG), such as wind and solar generation, to the grid is measured with the help of smart meters. The devices are connected to electronic data management and consumer system with the help of communication broadcasting technologies such as meter-bus and ZigBee. Rising growth of machine-to-machine technology in industrial and residential sector is supporting the growth of the smart meters market.

The smart meters market can be categorized on the basis of applications as commercial, residential, and industrial. Residential application dominates the smart meters market due to increase in population, particularly in BRIC countries. Home energy management system is simplified by using smart metering which is supporting the usage of smart meters in residential sector. Energy can easily be managed in residential sector by using load variable tariffs and time-of-use tariffs. The need for energy installations and energy efficiency is increasing due to rising urbanization which gives rise to various production activities and industries.
