eSIM adoption is significantly lagging behind industry projections, with consumers showing strong resistance to abandoning physical SIMs despite their technological advantages—only 5% adoption in South Korea and reliance on forced migrations rather than voluntary switching. While the US shows higher adoption at 38%, this is primarily driven by manufacturers removing consumer choice through eSIM-only devices rather than genuine preference, indicating a market being pushed by supply rather than pulled by demand. IT organizations must prepare for a prolonged transition period and should anticipate managing hybrid SIM environments, supporting legacy physical SIM infrastructure longer than expected, and addressing user adoption barriers through enhanced awareness and improved customer experience.
