Coworking Statistics (2022)

Coworking Space

As recently as a couple of decades ago, the term “coworking,” or groups of people working independently in a shared space, would have raised eyebrows. Back then, the closest comparison was probably a local coffee shop where freelancers of all stripes posted up to get through their daily workload while getting a caffeine fix.

Today, those freelancers and entrepreneurs are joined by newly minted remote workers who may be tired of being cooped up in their home offices from 9-5. An entire industry has evolved around giving these workers a place to focus on their tasks, whether that’s a rented day office or a cafeteria-style open floorplan.

Below, we’ve taken a look at how the coworking industry has grown over the last few years, and where it seems to be headed.
