The Shift from SIM to eSIM and what it means for OWN

The digital era is redefining how we connect globally, and eSIM technology is at the forefront of this transformation. OWN, powered by Athalos, is proud to be part of this change, enabling seamless, hassle-free connectivity for travelers and businesses worldwide. But what makes eSIM so beneficial? Let’s explore the market insights.

1. Explosive Growth in eSIM Adoption

By 2028, the number of travel SIM and eSIM users is projected to hit 268 million, with 25% of market spend driven by Western Europe (Juniper Research). This unprecedented growth is fueled by the flexibility and convenience eSIMs offer, eliminating the need for physical SIM cards and empowering users with instant activation and plan-switching capabilities.

2. A Market Expansion Like No Other

The travel eSIM market is on track to expand by a staggering 440% in the next five years (Juniper Research). This growth presents a significant opportunity for brands like OWN, which focus on flexible consumer plans and innovative B2B licensing. With eSIM, users experience connectivity that adapts to their needs—no matter where they are.

3. A Win for Users, a Challenge for Telecom Operators

Traditional telecom operators stand to lose $3.9 billion in roaming revenue by 2028 due to the rise of eSIM alternatives (Juniper Research). This shift signals a new era where users prioritize affordable and transparent connectivity over legacy roaming charges.

4. Cost-Effective Solutions for Everyone

The cost of eSIM packages is expected to increase by 49%, making fixed-price bundles more appealing than ever (Juniper Research). OWN ensures customers access competitive, straightforward transparant pricing for global connectivity without the complexity.

5. The Role of Satellites in eSIM’s Future

The Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Market, expected to grow at a 13.28% CAGR, will reach $34.33 billion by 2030 (360iResearch). As this technology evolves, eSIM platforms are well-positioned to integrate satellite-based connectivity, ensuring uninterrupted service even in the most remote areas.
