Why does BLIVALE continue to offer, distribute and sell international SIM Cards together with international eSIMs, when most of our competitors offer only eSIMs?
As an international mobile connectivity solutions provider, we are faced with an interesting choice: should we offer our customers only eSIMs or should we also keep traditional SIM cards?
We are currently offering both solutions.
While many of our competitors have chosen to focus exclusively on eSIMs, we have decided to continue to provide both options. This is why this strategy is advantageous for our customers.
Expanding the Market with SIM Cards and eSIMs
Selling both SIM cards and eSIMs allows us to reach a wider and more diverse user base. There are in fact several advantages in offering both solutions:
Customers with non-eSIM compatible devices. Not all devices, especially the cheaper or older ones, support eSIM technology yet. Continuing to offer SIM Cards is therefore essential to be able to serve this segment of the market, especially in emerging countries or for customers with limited budgets.
Traditional consumer preferences. Some users, out of habit or for practical reasons, still prefer the physical SIM Card. They perceive it as more tangible and easier to transfer between different devices.
Flexibility for casual users. SIM cards are the ideal option for those who do not want to change their phone settings, such as changing the eSIM profile.
Business and professional use. Many companies, especially the more traditional ones, still prefer to equip their employees with devices with pre-configured SIM cards.
Competitive Advantages of eSIMs
At the same time, offering eSIMs also allows us to take advantage of this emerging technology and meet the needs of a more sophisticated and technologically advanced clientele:
Growing technology adoption. eSIM penetration is growing rapidly, especially with their presence in major high-end smartphones like the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy. This makes eSIMs an increasingly attractive option for consumers.
Customers sensitive to sustainability. eSIMs, being free of physical media, eliminate the use of plastic, an aspect highly appreciated by consumers attentive to the environmental impact.
Ease of management for the customer. Users love the ability to have multiple eSIM profiles active at the same time without having to change physical cards.
Needs of digital nomads and frequent travelers. Quick and easy activation of an eSIM is especially advantageous for those who are always on the move and need instant connectivity anywhere in the world.

SIM Card vs eSIM: A Global Analysis of Current Deployment and Forecasts for the Next 5 Years
Here is an overview of the current and projected spread of smartphones using SIM cards versus eSIMs, broken down by region, with a look at forecasts for the next 5 years:
Current Distribution (2024)
Forecast for 2029
Analysis and Future Trends
eSIM on the Rise. eSIM adoption is expected to increase globally, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% between 2023 and 2031. The leading regions in this transition are North America and Europe, driven by the spread of IoT, 5G, and smart devices.
Resistant demand for SIM cards. In emerging markets, such as Africa and Latin America, eSIM adoption will be slower due to limited infrastructure and dependence on local operators
Market Convergence. The integration of eSIMs into IoT and smart devices is a major growth driver, with applications ranging from automotive to healthcare. However, SIM cards remain dominant in segments with limited access to the technology and difficult transition from SIM card-only technology to new eSIM technology.
This scenario highlights how your strategy of offering both traditional SIM cards and eSIMs allows you to cover a large and evolving market, adapting to the different speeds of technological transition in different regions.
Conclusions
Offering both SIM cards and eSIMs allows us to meet the needs of a large and diverse market. While eSIMs represent the future of mobile connectivity, SIM cards are still in high demand among certain customer segments. By maintaining both options, we can provide our users with maximum flexibility and a competitive advantage thanks to the additional services included in our solutions.
