Strengthening automotive sector market leadership
The automotive sector remains one of 4Sale’s largest and fastest-growing verticals – with a major role in the company's heritage. In 2024, 4Sale launched its new cars category, transforming the platform into a one-stop destination for car shopping. Last year, used car listings on 4Sale’s platform increased by 7%.
4Sale expanded its automotive partnership network by integrating prestigious used car dealerships—that offer customers brands such as BMW, Land Rover, Peugeot, and Hyundai—into its ecosystem in Kuwait. Additionally, it secured strategic partnerships with multiple used car showrooms, further strengthening its market presence.
These partnerships reinforce 4Sale’s commitment to enhancing the car-buying experience and further cementing its leadership.
Strengthening the team with key leadership appointments
In 2024, 4Sale announced several key leadership appointments:
- Khaled Gomaa as Chief Technology Officer;
- Fadila El Badry as Chief Marketing Officer; and
- Mohamad Salah Khouzam as Chief Operations Officer
In line with the company’s philosophy to pursue best-in-class operations and talent, the appointments are a continued strategic step in 4Sale’s growth and innovation journey.
Tarek Sakr, Chief Executive Officer of 4Sale, said:
"I am incredibly proud of the exceptional performance of our superb team in 2024. The automotive vertical is a key contributor to our business model – reflecting our deep expertise in the sector. As one of our fastest-growing segments, we will continue to invest in innovation to enhance the car-buying and selling experience.
“This will be accompanied by continued expansion into other verticals, such as real estate, which launched in 2023 and is experiencing remarkable growth, with a significant surge in office listings and revenue from this segment. I look ahead to another year of momentum with confidence and excitement."
