How are eSim’s changing the travel landscape and what are the strategic implications for telecom operators?

06 Feb 2025
Spotlight stage - Baniyas Ballroom
SMS & eSim

The global eSIM user base is anticipated to grow from 40 million users in 2024 to over 215 million by 2028. This increase is driven by the rising cost of international roaming and the growing penetration of eSIM-capable devices across numerous countries. This panel will discuss the availability of eSim platforms and how this is impacting the roaming offering.

  • How will this impact tourism in the region?
  • With new providers offering eSim’s such as airlines, is this an opportunity or a threat?
  • What is the authentication process and how is the regulation keeping up with the growth of users.
