The growth of co-working spaces is expected to drive the expansion of the workspace-as-a-service market in the future. Co-working spaces are shared environments where individuals and businesses can rent desks or offices, working collaboratively. The rise in co-working spaces can be attributed to the shift towards remote work, making them an attractive alternative to long commutes. These spaces offer collaboration opportunities and a sense of community, appealing to professionals who prefer social work settings. Workspace-as-a-service (WaaS) further enhances co-working spaces by providing flexible, scalable solutions that simplify management and optimize resource use. For instance, in January 2025, Coworkingcafe, a US-based coworking space platform, reported that the national coworking inventory reached 7,695 spaces in Q4 2024, showing a 2% increase from 7,538 spaces in Q3 2024. This growth in co-working spaces is driving the demand for the WaaS market.
Companies in the WaaS market are focusing on innovative advancements such as AI-driven digital employee experiences to improve productivity, streamline workflows, and boost engagement through personalized, automated support in hybrid and remote work environments. This AI-driven experience uses technologies such as virtual assistants, automation, and predictive analytics to enhance efficiency, engagement, and workflow in hybrid workplaces. For example, in August 2023, VMware, a US-based cloud computing company, introduced AI-powered enhancements to its Anywhere Workspace platform, which is part of VMware's Cross-Cloud services portfolio. These updates aim to enhance employee experience, create new vulnerability management use cases, and simplify application lifecycle management, making WaaS solutions more adaptable and effective for businesses. The innovations focus on improving digital employee experience (DEX), virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI/DaaS), unified endpoint management (UEM), and security, all contributing to a more efficient and secure hybrid work environment.
In January 2025, CBRE Group Inc., a U.S.-based investment company, acquired Industrious National Management Company for approximately US$400 million. Through this acquisition, CBRE aims to expand its flexible-workspace operations, integrate building operations with workplace-experience services, and introduce a new building operations and experience (BOE) segment.
