Smart Gas Solutions Market Dynamics

IoT and Big Data: Next Frontiers in Smart Gas Solutions Market

Big data and Internet of Things (IoT) are playing an important role in various industries by driving operational efficiencies and improving customer services. Companies are increasingly adopting smart gas solution including both IoT and big data to achieve intelligent metering, monitoring, and measurement of gas resources.

Owing to the rise in gas leakage and gas detection problem, companies are focusing on developing smart solutions to detect gas leakages which includes IoT based smart gas monitoring systems along with the use of sensors to detect gas leakage and alert the user. Meanwhile, with the increasing use of smart meters capturing the data, companies are also focusing on employing big data to handle large datasets. Companies in the energy sector are also collaborating with tech companies for customized big data and IoT solutions.

Increasing Investment on Gas Infrastructure to Accelerate Growth in Smart Gas Solutions Market

Owing to the increasing capital expenditure on the gas infrastructure globally, the healthy growth is expected in the smart gas solutions market. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), natural gas production is rising every year since economic crisis of 2009, hence, many countries are developing gas infrastructure to feed industries, power plants, and households.

Gas consumption is also likely to grow in the coming years. According to some industry experts, gas is likely to overtake coal as the second leading source of energy behind oil in the next few years. This is likely to drive the development of gas transmission and distribution infrastructure including gas pipeline infrastructure, this, in turn, will drive demand for smart monitoring systems and data analyzing systems to ensure smooth operation and efficiency.

Limited Battery Life and High Cost Hampering the Growth in Smart Gas Solutions Market

Smart meters are gaining popularity in the water, gas, and electricity industry, however, the limited battery life in smart meters is emerging as one of the biggest challenges in the smart gas solutions market. Hence, companies are focusing on improving and maximizing battery life, thereby, maximizing the overall meter life. Moreover, manufacturers in the smart gas solutions market are also designing smart meters with upgradable software that can modify the battery consumption during the operating life.

Another challenge faced by the manufacturers in the smart gas solutions market is the high cost of the products owing to the integration of advanced technologies. Hence, companies are focusing on innovative solutions that can be provided at a reasonable price. Moreover, managing and minimizing the cost of the products in the smart gas solutions market is also becoming difficult due to rising competition.
