Brazil’s sanitation and water utility sector is accelerating its digital transformation in 2026, driven by large-scale infrastructure investments and modernization policies from major players including Aegea Saneamento, Sabesp, and Águas do Brasil.
With rising focus on reducing water theft, improving billing accuracy, and deploying remote reading systems, utilities across Brazil are increasingly adopting smart water meters equipped with advanced anti-magnetic and high-stability measurement solutions.
Key industry trends this year include:
- Strict requirements for anti-magnetic interference to prevent tampering and theft.
- Preference for low-power components to extend battery life in prepaid meters.
- Wide adoption of global communication standards such as STS and DLMS/COSEM.
- Growing demand for compact, PCB-integrated modules that simplify manufacturing.
As Brazil continues to expand its smart water networks, we look forward to establishing long-term partnerships with local manufacturers, integrators, and utility companies.
