FlixBus is continuing its global expansion strategy and announces its market entry into Peru for 2025. The company, which already operates successfully in Brazil and Chile, also plans to launch in Mexico in the first half of 2025. With a market size of around 18 billion euros, the long-distance bus market in Latin America offers enormous potential, which Flix now intends to tap into.
André Schwämmlein, CEO and co-founder of Flix, explains:
"With Flixbus, we want to offer travelers in Latin America a reliable and affordable service. The rail infrastructure there is poorly developed, and flights only operate between major cities. This makes buses one of the most important means of travel. The success of Flixbus in Brazil and Chile proves that our business model works globally. With Peru and Mexico, we are now taking the logical next step."
The Flixbus has been rolling in Latin America since 2021
Flix has been operating in Latin America since 2021 and, according to the company, is experiencing strong growth there. In Brazil, the company has expanded its network from 27 to over 100 cities in three years. In Chile, Flix now connects 14 cities in eight regions.
With this expansion, the mobility company continues its technology-driven, global growth strategy. Schwämmlein continues:
"Our goal remains profitable, sustainable, and responsible growth. We established Flix in Europe and expanded into the US just five years after launch. With Latin America and Asia, we still have major bus markets ahead of us, which are an important part of our growth strategy.
The company has been on the market for twelve years and has already successfully established itself in Europe, North America, and India. The markets in Latin America and Asia are now the focus of the next phase of growth.
