Global Heat Meter Market - Size, Growth, Share, Trends, and Forecast (Outlook to 2028)

Continually maturing government policies & regulatory landscape that promote end-use measurement for the accurate billing of thermal energy, increasing adoption of heat meters due to their benefits, continued investments in district heating infrastructure (both new and renovation), and growing new construction activities are some of the factors driving the heat meters market.

A heat meter is a device that uses flow volumes and temperatures to measure and record the amount of thermal energy supplied by a source or delivered to a sink.

Installation of heat meters helps in measuring the thermal energy consumption needed for billing and optimization.

Benefits of Heat Meters

• Greater control over energy use and charges
• Transparency of consumption and billing accuracy enhancements
• Encourage consumers to identify and reduce wasteful consumption
• Consumers experience augmentations
• Helps to identify, monitor, and evaluate system efficiencies and losses in large heat distribution networks and aids in analyzing the value of potential energy-saving interventions
• For consumers - consumption-based billing promotes reduced use of heating, thereby decreasing average household expenditure on heating

District heating systems (DHS) are becoming more popular for centralized heating and the distribution of the heat to individual dwellings and commercial buildings, among others. These systems involve producing hot water at a central plant, piped underground to individual buildings for hot water and space heating.

Governments are promoting smart heat meters as part of energy efficiency optimization to support emission reduction goals. Additionally, smart heat meters give district heating utilities a detailed overview of the actual state of the distribution network by providing precise information about flow and temperatures, which can be combined with additional measurements, such as pressure, in strategically important parts of the network.

In the past, the digitalization of heating and cooling was driven by a simple business case to reduce costs. However, utilities and municipalities adopt smart heat meters as part of a long-term technology transformation to create more intelligent and environmentally friendly, efficient heating and cooling networks.

Among the types, static heat meters will remain the leading type during the forecast period. Further, mechanical meters market share is expected to slowly erode in the years to come owing to the increased adoption of ultrasonic measurement technology across several regions.

Demand for heat meters from China and Germany is expected to be robust due to the need to meet government regulations.

Some of the Opportunities

• 2nd wave rollout of smart heat meters in mature markets and replacement of old mechanical meters to communicated meters
• Markets with growth potential - China, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and other countries that mandate/promote sub-metering; utilities with legal obligations to install smart heat meters

Some of the Notable trends are:

• Growing Popularity of Heat-as-a-service
• Growing Focus on Turnkey Offerings such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS))
• Increasing adoption of LoRa technology - a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) protocol
• Growing Popularity of District Cooling Systems
