eSIM-enabled devices to grow exponentially
Technology is transforming the paradigm of connected living, moving from simple mobility solutions to hyper-connectivity in the Internet of Things (IoT).
Connected devices are growing exponentially in both the consumer and industrial markets.
For smartphones, there will be an estimated 2.4 billion active eSIM subscriptions by 2025, according to the GSMA intelligence.
Mobile connectivity, including the consumer and IoT segments, will contribute about 4.8% of the world's GDP by 2023.
That's roughly $4.8 trillion in economic value, with 25.2 billion connections by 2025.
Thales eSIM Management
In this hyper-connected world, Thales eSIM Management allows us to securely and remotely manage the lifecycle of cellular subscriptions to deliver a seamless customer experience for connecting more than 7 billion consumer and industrial eSIM-ready devices to be shipped by 2025.
