Report Summary:

Report Summary:

eSIM (Embedded Subscriber Identity Module) has been heralded as the next evolution of the SIM card, because it offers the ability to change service provider profiles over-the-air (OTA), without needing to change the embedded SIM card itself. It represents the most radical and potentially disruptive change in over two decades of GSM connectivity, in terms of how customers can select and change service provider profiles based on specific criteria or business rules.

This report looks in-depth at the evolution of the eSIM for the IoT, standardisation, efforts, adoption, opportunities and challenges and provides detailed recommendations for stakeholders in the eSIM value chain.

Questions Answered by this Report and for Further Consideration:

  • How has the eSIM Market Developed? Why was it needed in IoT?
  • What Benefits do eSIMs offer over standard SIMs or eUICCs, that don’t support RSP (Remote SIM Provisioning?)
  • What are the differences between eSIMs and iSIMs?
  • What elements comprise an eSIM solution and why are they important?
  • How are standardisation efforts around eSIM progressing?
  • What are the Challenges and Opportunities in the eSIM market?
  • What are the OEM use cases driving eSIM adoption?
  • What vertical industries are looking to eSIMs for IoT deployments?
  • How are eSIM developments progressing with MNOs, MVNOs and MVNEs?
  • How significant a challenge does roaming present in the IoT and how can eSIM solutions help?
  • What are Strategy Analytics’ recommendations for different stakeholders in the eSIM ecosystem? What does eSIM mean for MNOs, MVNOs, MVNEs, hardware vendors and OEMS?
