The global travel and mobile connectivity landscape is shifting at record speed. According to new 2025 industry data, eSIM adoption has increased by more than 40% in the last 12 months, marking one of the fastest transitions in consumer mobile technology ever recorded.
For travelers, the move from physical SIM cards to digital eSIM solutions is becoming the new standard—and Roambit is perfectly positioned at the center of this transformation.
Why eSIM Growth Is Exploding in 2025
Several key factors are driving this massive adoption boom:
1. eSIM-Only Smartphones Are Increasing
Apple’s eSIM-only iPhone lineup set the tone, and now Samsung, Google, and several Android manufacturers are following the same path.
By the end of 2025, over 65% of new devices will support eSIM by default.
2. Global Travel Is Fully Recovered
With tourism surpassing pre-2020 levels, travelers are rejecting:
