Introduction
Energy efficiency and accurate monitoring are becoming a critical part of global sustainability goals. According to MarketsandMarkets, the smart energy monitoring market is projected to grow from USD 2.2 billion in 2023 to USD 4.8 billion by 2028, driven by smart grids, renewable integration, and digital building management.
For OEMs, distributors, wholesalers, and system integrators, selecting a WiFi-based smart energy monitor is not just about tracking electricity—it’s about enabling scalable, automated, and value-added solutions for end-users.
Market Trends Driving B2B Adoption
-
Decarbonization Pressure: Energy companies and contractors must provide customers with transparent monitoring.
-
Smart Building Growth: North America and Europe are leading in BMS (Building Management Systems) adoption.
-
OEM/ODM Demand: Increasing requirement for customizable smart power meters with branding, protocols, and integration flexibility.
Statista reports that 40% of new building projects in Europe integrate smart energy systems by 2025, making energy monitoring devices a vital procurement category.
Technical Overview of Smart Energy Monitors
Unlike billing meters, smart energy monitors are designed for real-time monitoring and energy management.
Key technical highlights of PC321 WiFi Smart Power Clamp:
