Get The ReportThe automotive eSIM market will grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.8% between 2025 and 2030. According to ABI Research's latest eSIM market forecasts, annual eSIM card shipments in the automotive industry will reach nearly 80 million by 2030.
Automotive remains the dominant IoT eSIM market category from 2024 to 2027, but due to high levels of existing penetration, long design lifecycles, and a slower transition to SGP.32, the effects of SGP.32 availability will be seen more acutely in greenfield deployments in the “Other” category, which includes security, remote monitoring, agricultural, and other industrial applications. Automotive accounted in 2024 for 42% of total IoT shipments, decreasing to 27% of the overall IoT market in 2030. This is despite growth from 60.2 million in 2024 to 80 million in 2030 due to the relative spike in the other IoT application categories resulting from new and growing fleet deployments in the wake of standardization.
