Description

Report Overview

The eSIM chip refers to he SIM card insert into the device and updating its configuration through wireless remote download. Compared with the traditional pluggable SIM card, eSIM greatly reduces the card space on the device, and its volume is reduced to 10% of the traditional SIM card. In addition, it is directly embedded in the device in form, realizing the true card-free device, thus increasing the flexibility of product design; Its seismic resistance, high temperature resistance and reliability are stronger, and it can better adapt to the harsh working environment; Not bound to a specific operator and remote configuration support flexible switching of operator data to ensure fast and stable connection.The global market for semiconductor was estimated at US$ 579 billion in the year 2022, is projected to US$ 790 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period. Although some major categories are still double-digit year-over-year growth in 2022, led by Analog with 20.76%, Sensor with 16.31%, and Logic with 14.46% growth, Memory declined with 12.64% year over year. The microprocessor (MPU) and microcontroller (MCU) segments will experience stagnant growth due to weak shipments and investment in notebooks, computers, and standard desktops. In the current market scenario, the growing popularity of IoT-based electronics is stimulating the need for powerful processors and controllers. Hybrid MPUs and MCUs provide real-time embedded processing and control for the topmost IoT-based applications, resulting in significant market growth. The Analog IC segment is expected to grow gradually, while demand from the networking and communications industries is limited. Few of the emerging trends in the growing demand for Analog integrated circuits include signal conversion, automotive-specific Analog applications, and power management. They drive the growing demand for discrete power devices.

The global eSIM IC market size was estimated at USD 5175.0 million in 2025 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.50% during the forecast period.
