The Financial Times is compiling its seventh annual ranking of The Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies, to be published in April 2026.

In partnership with Statista, the data provider, the FT will seek to identify those companies in North, Central and South America that achieved the strongest revenue growth between 2021 and 2024.

It was a tough time for companies across the region, as they grappled with rising energy prices, economic uncertainty and increased geopolitical tensions.

But it was also a period that offered fast-growing companies an opportunity to really stand out from the crowd.

Who was in The Americas’ Fastest-Growing Companies 2025 list?

ABA Centers, a US company that provides one-on-one sessions with behaviour therapists for those with autism spectrum disorder, was top of the 2025 list, followed by Mexican payments group Clara. Explore the full 2025 ranking.

The ranking of high-growth businesses will be published in a special report in the FT newspaper and on FT.com, alongside articles by FT correspondents on the trends highlighted by the research. View the most recent edition of this report and ranking.

For the 2026 ranking, potential candidate companies will be contacted by Statista directly — or representatives can put their names forward now via their website.

Who is eligible?

Companies from the following 20 countries:

Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, US, Uruguay and Venezuela.
