In a move that cements its position as a leader in the eSIM space, innovative telco Airalo has secured a staggering $220 million funding boost, propelling its valuation above the $1 billion mark. Backed by seasoned investor group CVC, this landmark deal makes Airalo the very first ‘unicorn’ – a privately held startup valued at over $1 billion – within the burgeoning world of eSIM technology.
The APAC region stands poised to become the epicentre of this growth spurt, with forecasts indicating that the local eSIM market will see a whopping compound annual growth rate of 7.9 percent between now and 2030. With their sights firmly fixed on tapping into this lucrative opportunity, Airalo will utilise these substantial funds to bolster their offering in key markets throughout the Asia Pacific area.
Key to unlocking future success lies in continuously enhancing customer experience, says Airalo Co-Founder & CEO, Ahmet Bahadir Ozdemir. According to him, the fresh injection will empower them “to push boundaries across each stage of our customers’ journey”, through innovations aimed at improving flexibility and streamlining interactions via digital channels.
