Global eSIM Market By Application, M2M type is further classified into Automotive, Energy & Utilities and Others), By Solution, By Region, Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2020 - 2026
NEW YORK, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global eSIM Market size is expected to reach $19.2 billion by 2026, rising at a market growth of 17% CAGR during the forecast period. Embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM), also known as the Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC), is a reprogrammable chip that is made available across the market either in soldered or in a removable form. It is a small chip which is used to authenticate the identity of the user with his carrier. ESIM is smart in terms of functions as it supports multiple accounts, enables switching to different mobile network operators (MNOs), and manages accounts simply by updating the user's mobile phone software settings.

With the gradual growth of smart connected devices in every vertical market, the need for unified, scalable network-based devices is increasingly growing. The need for remote connectivity to manage devices is increasing. The number of smart system vendors is growing increasingly to support this need. ESIMs are becoming increasingly popular, as they enable users to manage all connected devices from remote locations, including cars, mobile phones, wearables, medical devices and others. ESIMs are becoming increasingly common with manufacturers of smart devices, as these SIMs have both 'Machine to Machine' capabilities and remote provisioning.
It is also expected that the global eSIM market will be fueled by the growing adoption of these SIMs by leading mobile manufacturers including Google and Apple. Manufacturers of smartphones are likely to allow eSIMs to boost their product offerings. On the other hand, users can only pick one profile from every profile at a time. This is a major disadvantage for eSIMs, which restrains market growth. Also, being a sophisticated technological evolution, the compatibility, connectivity and other issues with different manufacturers' smart devices is also one of the major challenges for eSIM market growth.

Under this collaboration, Thales would use Google Cloud technology for providing highly secure and scalable activation of eSIM (embedded SIM) capable devices. Thales deployed the world's first GSMA-certified eSIM activation solution on Google Cloud. This solution offers telecom operators secure and highly scalable support to manage increases in mobile subscriptions for eSIM-capable devices.
Mar-2020: STMicroelectronics collaborated with Truphone, a GSMA accredited global mobile network that operates its service internationally. The collaboration was aimed to launch a full-stack embedded SIM (eSIM) infrastructure solution. This solution was compliant with GSMA Machine-to-Machine (M2M) standards for Industrial IoT and automotive customers.
Oct-2019: Deutsche Telekom came into partnership with COMPRION, a leader in smart card compliance. The partnership was focused on developing a test system for the nuSIM initiative. COMPRION was aimed to provide test system expertise for developing qualification and functional certification program for single entities in the nuSIM ecosystem. nuSIM is a strictly optimized integrated SIM solution that would bring several new attributes to the IoT value chain, e.g. significant cost reduction, space savings, and increased overall simplicity.
Jul-2019: Deutsche Telekom collaborated with IDEMIA, a provider of security and identity solutions. Deutsche Telekom selected IDEMIA's solution to ramp up its efforts to accelerate the launch of eSIM-enabled devices in its European affiliates. IDEMIA's Smart Connect Entitlement ensured Deutsche Telekom will always have the very latest OEM specifications to support smartphones, wearables, and tablets on a cost-effective and easy to deploy platform.
May-2019: Infineon signed an agreement with Arrow Electronics and Arkessa. This agreement extended Arrow's ability for supporting customers with cellular communications for the Internet of Things (IoT). In this agreement, Infineon aimed to provide the secured hardware controllers based on GSMA's Embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) specification that underpin the new service whereas Arkessa was focused on providing secured mobile data services with the ability to provide and manage IoT devices from the factory into the field easily and effectively.
Feb-2019: STMicroelectronics teamed up with Sequans Communications, a company that markets integrated circuits for 4G mobile phone technology. The collaboration was aimed to bring LTE for IoT connectivity to the MCU ecosystem and accelerate its adoption. Following this collaboration, the companies have developed a dedicated cellular extension board for STM32 Discovery kits based on Sequans' Monarch LTE-M/NB-IoT technology. ST also enlarged its STM32CUBE cellular software library to support Sequans' existing Monarch-based module, GM01Q. The kit includes a switchable SIM interface, eSIM, and MicroSIM, a high-performance antenna for frequencies between 700 MHz – 2100 MHz, and free drivers and code examples.
