Major Driver Impacting Market Growth

The increasing penetration of smartphones is significantly contributing to the growth of the eSIM market going forward. A smartphone refers to a mobile phone with highly advanced functions. eSIMs are built into consumer devices such as smartphones, allowing the user to re-program sim contents such as the international mobile subscriber identifier (IMSI) and network carrier profiles via software, eliminating the requirement for SIM card replacement. For instance, in July 2023, according to Demand Sage, a US-based Google Sheets-based revenue operations platform, in 2023, the global count of smartphone users stood at 6.8 billion, marking an increase from around 6.6 billion users in 2022. Additionally, according to the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan American think tank, the percentage of Americans who own a smartphone climbed from 81% in February 2019 to 85% in February 2021, which was just 35% a decade ago (in 2011). Therefore, the increasing penetration of smartphones will drive the eSIM market.

Key Industry Players

Major companies operating in the eSIM market are focused on developing eSIM unique features such as being planet-friendly for sustainable and convenient connectivity. Planet-friendly refers to actions, products, or practices that are environmentally conscious and aim to minimize their impact on the planet. For instance, in January 2023, Airtel, an India-based telecommunications company launched eSIM, a digital SIM offering the same functionality as a physical SIM, providing benefits like quick online setup, environmental friendliness, and the ability to use two numbers on one device. Joining MTN and 9mobile, Airtel’s eSIM service is now available, requiring a compatible device and a SIM swap guided by Airtel service personnel.
