The large-scale benefits of using IoT devices is notably driving the eSIM market growth, although factors such as the increase in competition from soft sims may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the eSIM industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key eSIM Market Driver
The large-scale benefits of using IoT devices is one of the key drivers supporting the embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) market growth. IoT devices primarily collect data through sensors and actuators, transmitting it to a centralized location on a real-time basis. This empowers end-users to make informed decisions. IoT integrates technologies such as data communication, hardware design, data storage, and mining and is the latest trend in the global technology arena. It connects essential electronic objects such as cars, TVs, laptops, and the entire industrial process control to the internet. Such large-scale benefits of using IoT devices will drive the embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) market growth during the forecast period.
Key eSIM Market Trend
Growing awareness of wearable devices is one of the key embedded subscriber identity module market trends contributing to the market growth. Increasing disposable income and internet penetration are encouraging wearable device vendors to tap the growth potential of the market in the region. Consumers use smartwatches, smart bands, and others, and access social networking websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Furthermore, wearable device providers worldwide have increased their investment in R&D to foster the development of innovative products to improve market revenue and remain competitive in the market. Significantly, smart bands and smartwatches can help consumers share their activities with doctors to receive proper diagnoses. Therefore, with the growing adoption of such devices, the demand for eSIMs integrated into them will also increase during the forecast period.
Key eSIM Market Challenge
The increase in competition from soft sims is one of the challenges limiting the embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) market growth. The soft SIM is an embedded software SIM, which is removable or reprogrammed by the device. Moreover, a soft SIM is a built-in feature that can replace traditional SIM cards and eSIMs. It allows users to connect to the network of their choice by selecting and entering the details in the software. For instance, Apple and Samsung have introduced soft SIM in iPad and Samsung Gear S2 tablets, respectively, which will be incorporated in their next-gen versions as well. The installation of soft SIMs in next-gen smartphones will affect telecom companies, as users will no longer be required to replace physical SIM cards or eSIMs in their devices when porting to a different service provider. Thus, such advantages provided by soft SIMS may hinder the embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) market growth during the forecast period.
This eSIM market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
