North America was the first region in the world to move beyond traditional energy metering through the widespread introduction of AMR that started in the 1980s. Today, intelligent grids are becoming an integral part of the development of smart cities, and smart meters' ability to improve the reliability and resilience of energy supply constitutes an important driver of growth in the region.

A majority of the large investor-owned utilities in North America are now either fully deployed or in the implementation or planning phases of large-scale projects, and a second wave of deployments is soon to begin for the early adopters. The penetration of smart meters is currently about 60 percent and is expected to increase to 81 percent in 2024 primarily driven by large investor-owned utility projects in the US as the relatively mature market in Canada is expected to see moderate growth.

Asia-Pacific constitutes the world's largest and fastest growing meter market with an estimated installed base of over 1.3 billion electricity and gas metering devices. Annual demand for electricity meters in the region is in the range of 110-200 million units, with China accounting for around 70 percent of the volume. The Asia-Pacific is highly fragmented in terms of the progress of smart metering deployments, and the regional markets can be divided into three general groups. Two countries - China and New Zealand - have more or less completed their first wave deployments of smart electricity meters.

In China, second wave deployments are already underway and are soon to begin in New Zealand as well. South Korea and Japan are on the other hand in the midst of their nationwide deployments and are scheduled to be fully deployed by 2020 and 2024 respectively. The third group consists of markets finding themselves in the early phases of smart meter deployments - Australia and India. Although Australia was early to deploy smart meters in the state of Victoria, the market has since stayed dormant and just recently resumed deployments after having switched to a market-driven approach.

The Indian market has after a few years of pilot projects now begun large-scale deployments of smart metering, largely driven by ambitious governmental targets to reach nationwide coverage within the next few years. In total, the penetration of smart meters in the Asia-Pacific was 67 percent in 2018 and is expected to grow to 94 percent in 2024, primarily driven by the expected mass-deployments in India.

The markets in North America and Asia-Pacific are largely dominated by local or regional players and only a few companies such as Landis+Gyr and Itron have managed to establish a major presence in both regions. China and South Korea constitute two particularly isolated markets where a large number of domestic vendors serve the national utilities in their respective markets.

Similarly, the countries have also seen largely independent technology trajectories in the smart meter communications space, with RF mesh historically preferred in North America, Japan and Australia while national standard PLC technology dominates in China and South Korea, and cellular being the primary choice in New Zealand. Cellular is also expected to be the dominant communications technology in India's mass-deployments as well as in Australia's forthcoming market-driven deployments.
