The European Union Cyber Resilience Act will significantly impact manufacturers of IoT products, requiring substantial investment in cybersecurity compliance. Companies like Kigen that offer solutions for compliance are expected to see increased demand, potentially leading to growth in their market share and revenue. The overall market for IoT security solutions is poised for expansion as manufacturers seek to avoid hefty penalties and gain market access in the European Union.
Kigen, a leader in secure eSIM and RSP solutions, presented at the MWC IoT Summit 2026 in Shanghai, highlighting the European Union Cyber Resilience Act as a significant opportunity rather than just a compliance burden for manufacturers. This legislation, effective from September 2026, mandates robust security updates, incident reporting, and security-by-design for over 90% of IoT products, with penalties up to €15 million for non-compliance. Kigen emphasized that proactive compliance offers a structural competitive advantage and market access. The company showcased its eSIM technology and platform for autonomous over-the-air security updates, citing its rapid response to industry-wide vulnerabilities and its role in chairing the GSMA eSIM Working Group to advance industry standards. Kigen, backed by investors like Nubank and SoftBank Vision Fund 2, positions itself as a key partner for manufacturers navigating this new regulatory landscape.
