The Global Smart Water Meter Market is valued at US$ 5.5 Billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach US$ 10.1 Billion by 2031, growing at a 10.6% CAGR (2026-2031) as utilities replace ageing meters, cut non-revenue water and move to AMI.

North America is the largest region with a 34% share in 2025, led by the United States at US$ 1.70 billion. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region at a 13.6% CAGR, led by China and India.

AMI leads technology at 54.0%; smart mechanical meters hold 40.0% and ultrasonic meters 36.0%. Meters and accessories are 58.0% of revenue, cellular is the largest connectivity route at 31.0%, and residential use accounts for 52.0%.

The 15 profiled companies hold about 66% of 2025 revenue and the top three about 31%, led by Xylem (Sensus), Badger Meter and Neptune Technology Group.

Asia Pacific, cellular AMI and software are expected to lead growth to 2031; Badger Meter's 2025 net sales rose 11% to US$ 916.7 Million and Kamstrup's revenue rose 15%, showing healthy demand despite lumpy AMI deployment timing.
