Integration of IoT, AI, and Smart Metering in Gas Utilities
- A major trend shaping the global smart gas market is the integration of Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) to enable intelligent gas distribution, real-time monitoring, and predictive maintenance
- These technologies are transforming conventional gas grids into smart, responsive networks that optimize energy usage, reduce leakage, and enhance billing accuracy
- For instance, In January 2025, gas utilities in Europe launched large scale rollouts of AI-powered smart meters integrated with IoT sensors. These systems provided real-time consumption insights, detected gas leaks instantly, and enabled automated billing reducing technical losses by 18%. This trend is accelerating digital transformation in gas infrastructure worldwide.
- Combined with cloud analytics, these systems support proactive maintenance, improve customer engagement, and strengthen operational safety across gas utilities
