Trend 1: The rise of hybrid work
The hybrid model (2-3 days in the office, the rest working remotely) is becoming the norm. Companies are looking for flexible solutions for their distributed teams, which is fueling the demand for coworking spaces.
Trend 2: Specialization of spaces
We are seeing a proliferation of themed spaces: tech coworking, health coworking, creative coworking, spaces dedicated to women entrepreneurs. This specialization responds to a targeted networking demand.
Trend 3: Moving upmarket
Operators are investing in premium spaces with stylish design, concierge services, gyms, and restaurants. Coworking is no longer just a workstation; it's an experience.
Outlook 2027
The market is expected to continue growing, driven by the adoption of hybrid work by large companies and demand from SMEs in the provinces. Spain and Latin America represent significant growth drivers.
