On-device AI: mobile network filler or saviour?
On-device AI is the next frontier for AI deployments in consumer and enterprise segments. Use cases include AI-based search and personal assistants, image analytics on a smartphone, AI-assisted driving and navigation in cars, industrial applications such as automated guided vehicles, and improved IoT analytics. This has implications for the device world and major tech companies whose business models depend on consumer time on the internet and digital platforms. It also matters for operators, given the ripple effect of AI-driven data traffic on mobile and fibre networks, and the direct revenue opportunity.
Industry Checkpoint: consumer eSIM, Q1 2026
This edition of the Industry Checkpoint series focuses on consumer eSIM, highlighting how the market has changed in the last six months and its implications. The report considers four major developments: how eSIM-only and China’s eSIM launch are two factors that could accelerate consumer adoption of eSIM; how new customer propositions and offerings are taking travel eSIM to the next level; how eSIM is tapping into new categories of emerging consumer devices while driving new bundling approaches; and how eSIM is enabling a better blend of connectivity and entertainment experiences in sport.
Consumer eSIM: device and MNO service trackers, and 2030 adoption forecast, Q1 2026
With eSIM penetration in the consumer market set to double in 2026, and double again in 2027, this tracker provides data that operators, OEMs, eSIM vendors and other companies involved in the eSIM value chain, can use to formulate or adjust eSIM commercial strategies and offers. It covers three main areas: the commercialisation of eSIM consumer devices by OEM brand and type of device (smartphone, tablet and smartwatch); countries and MNOs that have launched commercial eSIM service for smartphones; and a consumer adoption forecast for eSIM in the smartphone market to 2030 (global and regional figures).
