Valid Reconized as a ‘Pacesetter’ in Counterpoint Research’s 2026 eSIM Provisioning CORE Rankings

Valid is proud to be recognized as a Pacesetter in the 2026 edition of Counterpoint Research’s eSIM Provisioning CORE Rankings. Counterpoint Research is a leading global technology market research firm that evaluates top industry vendors across execution, innovation, ecosystem strength, and market impact. This distinction highlights Valid’s leadership, innovation, and impact in the global eSIM ecosystem.

“Valid emerged as a Pacesetter for the first time, supported by strengthened platform capabilities, particularly across SGP.32-based offerings, and improved market execution.” – Mohit Agrawal, Research Director at Counterpoint Research.

The ranking reflects a pivotal year for eSIM adoption, driven by:

  • Nearly 40% year-on-year growth in transactions across eSIM Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) platforms in 2025, largely fueled by the expansion of travel eSIM services.
  • Strengthened SGP.32-based platform capabilities, enabling more seamless provisioning across consumer and IoT markets.
  • Enhanced execution metrics, reflecting Valid’s growing global presence and operational scale.

This recognition reflects Valid’s commitment to delivering secure, scalable, and interoperable eSIM solutions that support mobile network operators, device manufacturers, and connectivity providers in accelerating digital transformation.

As eSIM adoption continues to expand, the ability to combine technical maturity, ecosystem integration, and operational excellence has become increasingly critical. Valid continues to lead in this space with future-ready solutions in eSIM, and entitlement management, designed for complex multi-market deployments and evolving connectivity demands.

This achievement complements our ongoing recognition in eSIM Enablement, reinforcing Valid’s global leadership in the eSIM ecosystem.

Environmental compensation

In order to make a significant difference and bring a real benefit to our environment and planet, Valid decided to create, together with Plastic Bank, an environmental compensation program.

Plastic Bank is a social enterprise empowering a regenerative society. They build ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities and reprocess the materials for reintroduction into the global supply chain as Social PlasticTM.

Their collectors receive a compensation for the materials they collect which helps them to provide basic family necessities such as groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition, and health insurance.

Their certified blockchain platform secures the entire transaction and provides real-time data visualization – allowing for transparency, traceability, and rapid scalability.

Compensation Program

With this goal, Plastic Bank is relying on companies like Valid to support the collection process of the plastic in order to:

Mitigate the impact of many corporations and potentially reduce, offset or decrease the plastic footprint of their operations.

Improve the social and economic situations in different regions of the world by creating job opportunities through plastic waste collection.

Supports environmental stewardship and circular economy.

For every SIM card that our customers sell to their consumers under this program, Valid will collect one plastic bottle from the environment.
