Carmudi Hits 40,000 Listings, 60% Increase in Site Visitors

Carmudi is on a super-fast track to become the leading car classifieds in Nigeria. The site has reached a series of milestones including 40,000 unique listings on its website and 800,000 Facebook fans, all before it marks first (year) anniversary.

This milestone comes shortly after a well-attended dealer’s forum held by Carmudi in Ibadan chapter which hosted members of the automobile dealers association.

The online marketplace has successfully driven its way into seven cities and is estimated to reach over 10 million users in Nigeria.

Commenting on this achievement, Karl-Johann Sturesson, head of Business Development Africa, stated "The trust we have gained from buyers and sellers across the country is amazing. We are thrilled that Carmudi is getting such wide reception from the majority of professional car dealers, and individual sellers who are now listing on our site – with this, we are now in a better position to give people the convenience they deserve to find their dream car.”

The increase in listings comes with a 60% increase in the number of site visitors over the last 4 months.

Christian Keller, managing director of Carmudi Nigeria, explained: “We have had a busy summer at Carmudi. We needed to ensure we can manage the growth without compromising our quality promise. It is great to see that both sellers and buyers are honouring our passion buying and selling cars more conveniently.”

Carmudi is on its way to becoming a one-stop shop for any car related topic in Nigeria.

Christian Keller pointed that “We are catering to all kinds of users. Be it someone looking for cars, dreaming of cars or in future even seeking advice, tips, or reviews on cars.”

The online platform is clearly extending itself beyond the transactional relationship and engaging with users on a more personal level.

With 25% of Nigeria’s online consumers planning to buy a new or used car in the next two years, it is very likely that Carmudi will turn into the ideal “one-stop shop solution” for every Nigerian household.
