Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) market is anticipated to expand, driven by the increasing adoption of smart metering applications. Smart metering applications involve advanced metering technology, frequently incorporating IoT connectivity and data analytics, to enable real-time monitoring and management of energy consumption, thereby enhancing usage and efficiency. This growth in smart metering stems from a rising need for real-time energy consumption tracking and optimization, prompted by requirements for improved efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability across industrial and residential domains. The low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) facilitates efficient, long-range connectivity for smart meters, improving communication and prolonging battery life within these applications. For example, data from November 2023, sourced from the UK government’s Assets Publishing Service Gov UK, revealed that in Great Britain, the count of smart/advanced meters rose from 32.1 million to 33.9 million between 2022 and Q3 2023. Quarterly installations for Q3 2023 reached 818,000, illustrating a sustained increase in smart meter deployment. Consequently, the expanding implementation of smart meters is fueling the demand in the low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) market.
