The global eSIM market was valued at roughly USD 8.9 billion in 2021 and is predicted to grow to about USD 25.8 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 16.42% over the projection period. The report analyzes the eSIM market’s drivers, restraints, opportunities, & challenges and the impact they have on consumption during the projection period.
An eSIM, also known as an Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC), is a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) in a generic form. It functions similarly to a normal SIM card. It has pre-programmed settings and can be programmed by plugging the card into a modem or computer. The eSIM was created for the telecommunications sector, primarily for network-attached storage installations (NAS). The principal application of eSIM is in the mass manufacture of Microsemi transistors and other embedded communication devices. There are various manufacturers who support e-SIM-based cards. eSIM manufacturers provide support for e-SIM by providing hardware and software updates and upgrades, as well as their own line of eSIM cards. eSIM is used in a wide range of networking devices, including laptop computers, digital cellular phones, modems, desktop computers, distribution equipment, wireless personal area networks, fax machines, printers, and many others.

Remote provisioning means the capability to download an operator account to an in-market SIM and alter or delete subscriber identity module (SIM) identities without physically accessing the SIM card. The eSIM card is a key facilitator for machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity, which includes seamless and simple mobile connections for all types of linked devices. M2M requires the widespread networking of machines across geographical areas. Embedded SIM eliminates the hassle of switching service providers, resulting in increased operational excellence, and runs in a controlled and safe environment.
The most recent embedded SIM cards provide ensured profile interoperability as well as a key platform for participants to collaborate on common grounds. However, as technology advances, IoT device penetration increases, and M2M services proliferate, it becomes increasingly critical to provide safe and dependable communication among linked systems. As a result, ensuring the integrity of these systems has become a difficult effort. By offering automatic compatibility across connectivity platforms and different SIM operator profiles, embedded SIM cards enable the remote provision of SIM profiles.
The global eSIM market is segregated on the basis of use, component, and region. By use, the market is divided into laptops, smartphones, M2M, tablets, connected cars, and wearables. The M2M segment is anticipated to account for the majority of the e-SIM market during the projection period due to the numerous benefits provided by the application of eSIM in M2M devices, such as a simplified and efficient approach with no need to replace or insert a SIM card, enhanced security & reliability, a modern look, and no connector requirement. By component, the market is divided into energy & utilities, manufacturing retail, automotive, transportation & logistics, and consumer electronics. The consumer electronics segment continues to be a significant driver of change, innovation, and growth in a variety of technology areas.
North America holds the highest revenue share in the global eSIM market and is predicted to maintain this position throughout the forecast period. The expansion is expected to be helped by network providers' strong presence and rapid technological advancements. Europe is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 13% during the forecast period. One of the important factors driving growth is the existence of prominent market participants such as Gemalto NV, ARM Holdings, and Giesecke+Devrient Mobile Security GmbH. Regional expansion is also projected to be helped by government laws on car assistance.
