by Heat meters are devices used for billing and budgeting of heat usage in buildings. They help determine the exact amount of heat consumed by measuring the volume and temperature of water or steam that flows through pipes. With growing emphasis on energy efficiency and renewable energy globally, heat meters allow end users to track their consumption patterns and utilize heating resources optimally. The global Heat Meter Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.5 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The rising focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives is driving the heat meter market. Governments across the globe are promoting the use of heat meters to optimize energy usage and reduce waste. Heat meters enable energy suppliers as well as end users to monitor consumption in real time. This helps curtail waste and boost efficiency. With growing environmental concerns, initiatives like the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive are mandating the installation of heat meters in buildings. Such directives and incentives are augmenting the deployment of heat meters.
