The office space market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.04 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%.

The growing size of the workforce is expected to drive the expansion of the office space market. This increase is influenced in part by a rise in employment among older individuals who are choosing to remain in the workforce beyond traditional retirement age. Office spaces are essential for accommodating this expanding workforce, offering structured environments that support collaboration, productivity, and efficient task management. For example, in August 2024, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based government agency, projected that overall employment would grow by 6.7 million jobs between 2023 and 2033, marking a 4% increase from the 167.8 million positions recorded in 2023. As a result, the growing workforce is contributing to the demand for more office space.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the professional services sector, particularly in legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering domains. Higher costs for imported technology, software licenses, office equipment, and digital infrastructure have raised operational expenses for firms reliant on global tools and platforms. International consulting projects are facing delays or cost overruns due to increased travel expenses and restricted access to foreign-sourced data and tools. Additionally, clients in manufacturing, construction, and logistics, heavily affected by tariffs are cutting back on outsourced services, squeezing demand for professional expertise. As a result, service providers are reevaluating pricing structures, expanding domestic supplier relationships, and investing in AI-driven solutions to sustain profitability and client engagement amid economic uncertainty.
