In a 2021 survey, the top eight answers from mobile network operators (MNOs) and device manufacturers about which industries or devices will account for the greatest share of eSIMs showed a consensus on the most common answer. Smartphones were projected to lead the eSIM market, named by just under 50 percent of the MNOs and device manufacturers, as they are the device most likely to boost current low consumer awareness and thus demand for eSIM technology. The automotive industry took second place at nearly 12 percent, with a narrow margin above smartwatches in third place, as an industry predicted to hold one of the larger shares of eSIM connections.
