Coworking in numbers
Coworking became a global phenomenon in 2010, but in recent years the cowork industry has exploded. Coworking became an attractive concept because back when it first started to appear, it countered the pejorative views of the traditional office. If we look back to just a few years ago, coworking was considered to be a “movement” or a trend, with many believing it would fade away.
In 2019 coworking is a full-blown industry that has become the new norm
