The co-working space is a shared place that can accommodate employees of more than one company or set of independent individuals.

Moreover, coworking typically operates on a monthly club membership or subscription fee, which includes access to many additional facilities like cafeteria and others. With the rising cost of rent in tier 1 and tier 2 cities, many SMEs and entrepreneurs are choosing coworking spaces to gain access to better facilities at a cheaper cost.

Market Dynamics and Trends:

The increasing number of startups is driving the growth of the co-working space market as they are opting for coworking spaces owing to the increasing rent of private office spaces.

Coworking spaces are not only helping to reduce the cost of rent but also additional utilities such as desks, high-speed Wi-Fi connection, coffee, meeting rooms, recreation zones and many others. Also, coworking spaces help startups in acquiring new talents from number of freelancers working together with them on a day-to-day basis, which in turn reduces the cost of recruitment. Thus, fueling the growth of the market.  Moreover, increasing investments in niche coworking spaces such as women-only spaces, LGBTQ+ spaces, and other social groups are expected to provide lucrative opportunities as they are becoming popular to accommodate the growing diversity in SMEs such as on-premise childcare and others.

However, the low awareness regarding coworking spaces is hampering the growth of the market. This is attributed to a huge misconception among many SMEs and startups from various industry verticals that coworking spaces are only for IT sector as they mainly work from their devices. According to a poll, just 20% of office workers attend a coworking space once a month, leaving a big portion of the population (80%) without general awareness regarding such spaces. In addition, coworking means sharing workspace with strangers, which in turn creates problems for many workers to adapt to unknown people and the environment of the spaces.
