The "eSim Market Outlook, 2030" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The eSIM market, valued above USD 10.68 billion in 2024, is anticipated to exceed USD 21.75 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 12.85% (2025-2030). Key players like Giesecke+Devrient GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG, and Thales dominate the market, enabling consumers to switch mobile operators easily, thereby intensifying network operator competition. Thales Group stands out in digital identity and security, offering expansive eSIM solutions across industries backed by its cybersecurity expertise.
Notable market drivers include the proliferation of IoT and M2M devices requiring flexible connectivity and the convenience, flexibility, and cost efficiency offered by eSIM technology. However, challenges such as lack of standardization and device compatibility concerns remain. Despite these hurdles, trends like eSIM's integration with 5G networks and advancements in remote provisioning are paving the way for future growth.
Consumer electronics represent the largest segment due to the volume and demand for flexible device connectivity. Major manufacturers like Apple and Samsung embedding eSIM capabilities in flagship devices accelerate market adoption. Meanwhile, smartphones and tablets lead the application segment, reflecting the high demand for cellular-connected devices.
The expectation for full-service mobile connectivity (voice, SMS, and data) aligns well with traditional consumer needs, making this segment dominant. Connectivity services play a pivotal role in the eSIM ecosystem, enabling functionality through subscription management and network provisioning.
4G/LTE networks remain the backbone for deploying eSIM technology, given their widespread global adoption and established infrastructure, although 5G is rapidly gaining traction. North America's advanced telecom ecosystem and high device penetration rates make it a prominent player, with swift eSIM adoption witnessed notably in the U.S.
