With many small players, the water supply industry is fragmented, conservative and risk-averse. The utilities have been slow to embrace new technology. Smart metering is making the most progress in countries with large utilities or management contractors to invest in technology. The different country scenarios are outlined.

Demand drivers in the water meter market are a combination of ever-expanding water connections, commercial pressures, water depletion and growing demand for water, flooding and drought, industrial growth and improving living conditions, and growing awareness of water management. These are driving wider metering coverage and smart metering.
