The Asia-Pacific co-working office spaces market is expected to register a CAGR of more than 5.5% during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic had accelerated the growth of co-working spaces in the Asia-Pacific region, as traditional workspaces faced challenges during the crisis. Many enterprises moved toward co-working spaces due to the affordable prices and flexibility in working space. The co-working spaces also ensure a safe working environment.

As the sector provides top facilities at affordable prices, large-scale enterprises also adopted co-working spaces.

These spaces provide top features and facilities such as fast internet services, 24/7 access to office space, providing meeting rooms, and furnished and unfurnished spaces. In December 2021, the highest number of co-working spaces in Japan was recorded in the 23 wards of Tokyo, at 560, followed by Osaka City with 132 office spaces.
In 2021, more than 20% of the tenants of co-working spaces in China were from the computer network industry, as co-working spaces attract young and budding companies. Most of the spaces are occupied by internet, digital services, and media industries since entry barriers are very low for such industries.
