Coworking is most expensive in North America
Visibility over pricing amongst coworking spaces in your market ensures that you can competitively align yourself with those in your competitive set.
Average monthly coworking desk rate (USD) in August 2021 by world region in the image above is the first insight of the full report. It shows North America as having the highest monthly desk rate, with Europe & Oceania not far behind. It is worth noting that in addition to cost of living, proportions of desk types may contribute to their advantage over Asia and Latin America. For example, a higher proportion of private office desks in North American spaces likely drags the average up.

Coworking supply is growing
Count of coworking spaces in August 2021 by world region and growth since February 2021 shows that North America is the only world region to see a decrease in coworking spaces. Oceania & Europe are on top with 19 and 16% more spaces than 6 months ago respectively. Growth in Asia and Latin America is also strong.

Coworking brands are evolving
An interesting development to track is the number and size of brands, and how these are evolving.
Likely due to the sheer number of ‘developed’ nations, Europe towers above other world regions in terms of overall numbers of brands. This fact perhaps also explains why the vast majority are small brands with 5 spaces or fewer.
North America meanwhile boasts the highest number of large coworking brands, with 64 managing 21+ spaces.
Of our other regions, Asia has the second highest amount brands in total and matches Europe for large brands.
Latin America comes in next, perhaps surprisingly eclipsing Oceania.
