The Chip Shortage Forecast to Significantly Constrain SIM Cards Market through 2022
The greater long term threats for the removable SIM form factor are presenting themselves within the handset market, which is already extremely saturated, limiting growth opportunities. According to Sealy, "In addition, smartphone average selling prices are at significantly higher levels than a few years ago, subsequently negatively affecting removable SIM card churn rates as device contracts are lengthened to spread the cost of higher priced smartphones over a longer period of time."
This trend was well in place prior to the COVID pandemic and chip shortage crisis. On top of this is the looming eSIM impact. Despite significant levels of eSIM devices being available within the market today, the use of dual SIM devices, combining eSIM with a traditional removeable SIM functionality, has limited the impact on the removeable market so far.
"Overall, ABI Research believes that the market for removeable SIMs will only marginally be touched by the eSIM over the next two years, due to a continuation of dual SIM device issuance (encompassing a removeable SIM slot and eSIM). However, with strong rumors circulating around the launch of an eSIM only Apple device, a higher level of impact should be expected from 2023/2024 onwards.
