The Global Market for Smart Gas Solutions is Projected to Exceed US$10 Billion by 2020
Accelerating Growth of Natural Gas and Transforming
Gas Networks Drives Demand for Smart Gas Solutions, According to a New Report
by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Smart Gas Solutions market. The
global market for Smart Gas Solutions is projected to exceed US$10 billion by 2020,
driven by accelerating natural gas growth and robust demand for ICT solutions
that enable intelligent metering, monitoring, measurement, and control of gas
resources.
Gas is expected to become
the most important and widely available energy source similar to electricity,
thanks to the power-to-gas potential from renewables, especially increasing use
of biogas and natural gas. The discovery of the fracking process has completely
changed the outlook for natural gas worldwide. Gas utilities the world over are
facing mounting challenges in ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-effective
delivery of natural gas. Few of the many economic and environmental challenges
faced by gas utilities include volatile gas prices; expanding population and
the resulting need to meet new gas infrastructure and replace aging
infrastructure; need for improving safety standards; safeguard limited natural
gas resources; and meet stringent existing and upcoming regulations, among
others. Against the backdrop, smart gas solutions emerge as the perfect
platform for enabling proactive monitoring, metering, measuring, regulating,
and safeguarding of gas resources.
Healthy growth is
projected for the smart gas solutions market in the coming years driven by rising
capital expenditure on gas
infrastructure worldwide; increasing deployments of smart gas meters; growing
popularity of customized solutions; and robust demand from gas utilities. The
primary benefit offered by smart gas solutions that is driving strong adoption
by utilities include the ability to efficiently expand capacities for catering
to the growing population base and at the same time increase the safety and
reliability quotient of existing infrastructure. Other benefits include optimum
management of utility resources, components, and processes; improved gas
quality; accurate metering; optimization of asset performance and
profitability; greater operational and financial control of distribution
networks; enhanced customer relationships; improved financial performance and
productivity, and the ability to meet new challenges and opportunities through
reliable and flexible metering systems and solutions. Digital technologies and
the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are also expected to play a major role
in gas networks as gas generation technologies evolve to become the preferred
energy platform against a backdrop of increasing dependence on gas.
As stated by the new
market research report on Smart
Gas Solutions, the United States represents the largest market
worldwide. Favorable regulations and mandates, government funding, surging
deployments of smart gas meters; rapid growth of the domestic natural gas
sector in recent years, and presence of large natural gas and shale gas
exploration projects represent key growth drivers in the country. Europe
represents the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 18.7% over the analysis
period driven by the rising number of national smart meter programs and
introduction of innovative smart metering technologies.
