1GLOBAL Ranked as "eSIM enablement leaders" in 2026 Report from Counterpoint Research

The tech industry analysis firm Counterpoint Research has published its latest CORE (Competitive Ranking and Execution) report on the eSIM enablement market – and recognized 1GLOBAL as an industry leader.

This is the second time Counterpoint Research has highlighted 1GLOBAL’s contributions to the wireless industry – in September 2025, the 1GLOBAL Entitlement Server was subject to the same CORE Ranking assessment and was also duly classified as an industry-leading service.

Counterpoint’s CORE rankings are widely regarded as industry benchmarks, based on a multifaceted assessment of vendors and service providers across the technology sector. This report on eSIM provisioning vendors provides an encyclopaedic overview of the Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) landscape, covering established market players and emerging brands. The analysis considers each vendor from several angles, assessing “geographical reach, partnerships, financial metrics, pricing models, platform deployments and eSIM device base”.

Achieving the status of leader requires both broad market influence and flawless service – this ranking underscores the technological capabilities and overall quality of 1GLOBAL’s RSP branch.

Counterpoint Research

Counterpoint Research is a leading market research, consulting, and information firm specializing in the fields of “AI, Autos, Consumer Electronics, Displays, eSIM, IoT, Location Platforms, Macroeconomics, Manufacturing, Networks & Infra, Semiconductors, Smartphones and Wearables.”

The Counterpoint CORE Ranking reports serve as benchmark market overviews and are an eagerly anticipated fixture of the telecommunications calendar. Each report assesses the most notable brands in a given field and provides an audit of the sector, illustrating individual brand capabilities as well as wider industry norms and emerging trends. Vendors assessed in the reports range from tentpole tech companies with global workforces to startups.

In the CORE ranking framework, Counterpoint identifies key market players for a given discipline (in this case, eSIM provisioning) and assesses them based on both technical capability and quality of execution. In the latest ranking, 1GLOBAL was found to excel across both metrics, earning the title of “Leader” in the Remote SIM Provisioning field, and demonstrating "consistent transaction growth and expanding market presence, supported by steady platform enhancements."

1GLOBAL Consumer and M2M SIM Provisioning (SGP.02, SGP2.2 & SGP3.2)

The latest counterpoint ranking reflects both 1GLOBAL’s established market success, as well as highlighting the consistent quality and innovation of our Remote SIM Provisioning services.

With the wireless industry on the brink of near-exponential growth, a remote SIM provisioning service must exhibit a sustainable, scalable framework to be successful. The latest Counterpoint ranking investigated several future-ready capabilities of each vendor’s RSP offering, including SGP.32 compliance, GSMA certification, and international reach.

Vendors were also assessed on their wider vision for the wireless SIM market and their own ambitions, providing a longer-term outlook on the possible futures for the industry, and the relative readiness of individual brands. By collating hard data on revenue, infrastructure, and technological ability with more abstract insights into brand values and vision, the CORE ranking provides a holistic view of the RSP field – one that recognises the value of strategy and foresight as well as current ability. Similarly, the non-tech capabilities of each vendor – customer service, billing options, language support, and more – are assessed to ensure that each provider is judged on their ability to implement their services as well as their overall prowess.

1GLOBAL Remote SIM Provisioning services are designed from the ground up with scalability and customer experience in mind. While the 1GLOBAL tech stack supports state-of-the-art eSIM provisioning, including SGP.32 compatibility and an Entitlement Server, the overall service is defined by flexibility, in-depth customer support, and ease of use.
