While traditional SIM cards are removable, eSIM is integrated directly into mobile devices. If the user wishes to change their cellular profile, this can be done remotely via an “over the air” update. Thus, the same mobile device can be associated with several roaming data providers, authorizing the management of several eSIM profiles (up to 8 depending on the terminal model). This flexibility allows the user to manage their roaming services through dedicated portals for local, regional, and international eSIM data plans, such as those offered by Ubigi.

eSIMs, or embedded SIM cards, have revolutionary potential in redefining traditional roaming paradigms. By allowing the temporary loading of local data plans, they eliminate the need to incur exorbitant roaming charges. According to the latest report from Juniper Research, Apple and Google will play a key role in the democratization of the eSIM, with a compatibility forecast increasing from 1.2 billion in 2021 to 3.4 billion in 2025. The global eSIM market is also expected to see phenomenal growth, from $4.7 billion in 2023 to $16.3 billion in 2027, an impressive growth rate of 249%.

Although eSIM is more predominant in the consumer smartphone market, its influence extends to other sectors. Mi-Fi devices and laptops, when eSIM enabled, represent a significant opportunity in the travel mobility landscape.

According to a recent GSMA study, the global number of mobile internet users reached 4.4 billion in 2022, with a penetration rate of 55%.

Mobile traffic growth is driven by various factors, such as video streaming and online gaming, with a forecast that video traffic will account for 80% of all mobile data traffic by 2028.

5G plays a key role in this growth, with an increasing share of mobile data traffic. According to the GSMA Intelligence survey, 5G subscribers are showing increased interest in adding services and content to their mobile contracts, highlighting the growing importance of 5G in user preferences and shaping the evolution of mobile connectivity.
