The impact of eSIM & eUICC for network operators - What’s an operator’s best bet in IoT part 1/3

The eSIM has several characteristics that device manufacturers find highly beneficial: it is smaller, lighter, offers greater durability and can be sealed directly into devices, allowing them to be fully waterproof. The eUICC software allows the SIM to connect to any network with profile additions, updates and deletions managed over the air. We believe that these advantages will stimulate an uptake in the adoption of these technologies in the next 1-2 years, particularly, in the automotive and fleet tracking verticals. Nonetheless, McKinsey & Company has reported that the traditional SIM card will still dominate the market for the next 5 years at least. The reasons for this are twofold: firstly, legacy technology is unable to be physically adjusted for an eSIM and, secondly, design changes are required in new devices to accommodate the eSIM, along with the R&D and market testing that goes with it. Because of this, the GSMA only expects to see a substantial revenue growth for the embedded SIM from 2022 onwards as it is introduced into new devices on the market.
