Motorist achieves a new feather in its wheel cap - recognition by Financial Times as one of Asia’s fastest-growing companies

Motorist is recognised by Financial Times as one of Asia’s fastest-growing companies 2026, driven by strong regional expansion and growth.

Motorist has been named by Financial Times as one of the fastest-growing companies in Asia, securing a spot within the top 250 of an Asia-Pacific corporate growth ranking compiled by Financial Times using independently-verified revenue data from 2021 to 2024. 

The period saw Motorist turbocharging its regional growth, with the company’s back-to-back launch of operations in Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines. The three countries joined Malaysia and Singapore on the Motorist roadmap to simplify and improve the vehicle ownership journey. 

Motorist has been a driving force for smart vehicle ownership solutions since its inception in 2015, with an end-to-end ecosystem built specifically to solve the common problems faced by motorists. 

What began as a Singaporean solution to address everyday pain points in car ownership has since evolved into a comprehensive portal that supports motorists at every stage of their journey. From buying and selling vehicles to managing insurance, loans, servicing, and inspections, Motorist’s ecosystem is designed to remove friction and deliver convenience through a single unified platform.

At the core of this growth is a deep understanding of the challenges faced by motorists. Early on, Motorist identified gaps in transparency, inefficiencies in processes, and the lack of a reliable, all-in-one solution. By addressing these issues with user-first digital tools, Motorist became the go-to platform for all vehicle-related matters.   

Each of Motorist’s key services has played a role in driving this momentum. Its vehicle marketplace simplifies transactions by connecting buyers and sellers more efficiently, while its in-house financial services open up a transparent and trusted avenue for customers to make informed decisions.

Motorist’s Checkpoint feature (to monitor the vehicular traffic situation at Singapore’s land crossings at Woodlands and Tuas) was born out of a strong understanding of what the market was looking for, while the newly-released ERP 2.0 features lay the groundwork for the future of motoring in Singapore. 

Today, Motorist functions as more than just an Asian automotive platform. It is a trusted companion for drivers navigating the complexities of car ownership. With a growing presence beyond its home base, the company is now focused on bringing its integrated approach to motorists across the region in the five markets it serves - Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines.

Damian Sia, founder and CEO of Motorist, said: “This recognition by the authoritative business paper indicates that we are still on the right track. My vision behind the wheel remains clear - Motorist is here to streamline the vehicle ownership experience through digital connectivity and customer-centric options. Managing your vehicle should be simple and logical, with expert help from the Motorist platform and my whole team behind it.”
