Market Overview:

The global eSIM market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 21.41% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

eSIM or embedded SIM refers to a hardware chipset that is embedded into a device permanently. It is a small chip that is used to activate a mobile plan, authenticate user identity, and store data and multiple operator profiles on a device simultaneously. It is widely incorporated in tablets, smartphones, laptops, connected vehicles and machine-to-machine (M2M) operations. eSIM offers numerous advantages, such as supporting multiple mobile carriers, eliminating the need for specific slots, requiring less space, and easier to activate. As compared to traditional SIM cards, eSIM is permanently mounted, improves reliability, security, and network and eliminates the physical need for handling SIM cards. As a result, it finds extensive application across automotive, manufacturing, electronics, and energy and utility industries. 

eSIM Market Trends:

The significant growth in the automotive industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. eSIMs are used in all kinds of connected vehicles in infotainment systems, such as assisted driving, vehicle telematics and navigation. Furthermore, the widespread product adoption in M2M operations and applications for wireless communication as they require lesser space is favoring the market growth. This is further supported by the implementation of various government initiatives to boost M2M communications across the globe. Apart from this, the introduction of other analytic solutions, such as speed, security, fuel level alerts, maintenance temperature and battery notifications in eSIMs for an enhanced customer experience, are providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, the increasing product utilization in consumer electronics, including smartphones and smart wearables for higher reliability, safety and connectivity, is positively impacting the market growth. Other factors, including the rising penetration of the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices and the widespread product utilization in the energy and utility industry are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
