From the shape and size of markets to trends in consumer behaviour, we aim to provide food for thought through informative visuals designed to bring colour and clarity to complex issues facing the industry. In this edition, we look eSIM's progress in the last five years.

This dashboard, based on our December 2023 consumer survey across seven of the world's largest mobile markets, provides all the relevant data related to eSIM consumer behaviour in a consistent and structured way, a valuable asset for companies looking to formulate or adjust their commercial eSIM strategies and plans.

New tech and market developments promise to help accelerate eSIM adoption. In this context, we surveyed 100 operators globally in December 2023 to understand their views on three main areas of eSIM: eSIM benefits for enterprise customers; demands for eSIM-enabled solutions from industry verticals; and eSIM market share by 2030.

This dynamic dashboard provides relevant data related to eSIM in the consumer market across three main areas: consumer behaviour for eSIM, based on our global consumer survey; availability of eSIM devices and services; and the adoption forecast for eSIM in the smartphone market, with global and regional figures.

This report examines the state of eSIM in the consumer market including the latest trends on eSIM device and service commercialisation. It also provides insights into the consumer behaviour for eSIM while offering three scenarios for eSIM adoption through to 2030.

This report examines the findings from a GSMA Intelligence survey of eSIM vendors on their views and expectations on the future of eSIM in smartphones. This includes the transition to eSIM-only smartphones, the challenges currently hindering consumer adoption of eSIM in the smartphone market and the factors that have the greatest potential to stimulate OEMs to fully embrace eSIM at scale. The report also looks at timelines for greater availability of eSIM technology beyond flagship smartphones, and the timelines for the commercial launch of integrated eUICC.

Operator strategies continue to evolve in the digital era as the telecoms industry seeks to capture new growth opportunities in the consumer and enterprise markets. Assessing innovation and achievements is more important than ever before. GSMA Intelligence's operator case studies provide a concise and consistent way to shine a light on and analyse operators' strategies and business models, as well as how they are launching new services.
