Overview

Carsome operates an integrated car e-commerce platform providing end-to-end services spanning the vehicle ownership journey through subsidiary brands such as iCar Asia, WapCar, CarTimes, Carsome Academy, and Carsome Capital. It operates across Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore, with Malaysia and Singapore currently contributing most to profitability. In FY2025 the company posted its second consecutive year of positive EBITDA, more than doubled earnings to around $23 million, and achieved a 16% increase in gross profit as it sharpened cost discipline and monetisation. Carsome plans to use recent funding to scale operations regionally while maintaining a focus on sustainable, profitable growth. The company is prioritising initiatives in supply chain development and technology collaboration, including integrating data and artificial intelligence into its operations. Management describes the fundraising as reinforcing strategic alignment with investors and supporting cross-border collaboration between Southeast Asia and Greater China.
