Among the end use industries, Residential Sector is anticipated to dominate in the U.S. market due to the Improved Billing Accuracy and Benefits in Real Time Monitoring. The growing power consumption drives the demand for smart Meters from the residential sector due to the increased use of home appliances. Smart meters can provide accurate and detailed usage data, which can help to eliminate billing disputes between homeowners and utility companies. In turn, using these smart meters can provide real-time usage data, enabling homeowners to identify patterns and reduce energy consumption.

The Smart Meters market in U.S. is driven by rising popularity of digital technologies which are applied to distribute energy resources. The integration of renewable energy into the grid and the increase in the adoption of EVs are also contributing to this transformation. Moreover, the US government plans to invest USD 120–160 billion in transmission and distribution (T&D) networks by 2024. Aging energy generation and distribution infrastructure, an increasing need to deliver clean and reliable energy, and a strong focus on renewable energy generation are among a few major factors driving investments in T&D infrastructure. The Grids by 2030, envisioned transnational power transfers, real-time consumption analysis, diminishing power outage and disturbance costs, and a strong foothold in the competitive market.
