Number of Coworking Spaces Worldwide by Country (2024)
Global Coworking Spaces: Counts and Growth
Coworking – shared flexible office spaces – has grown explosively in recent years. Industry data report tens of thousands of coworking centers worldwide. For example, one market analysis shows roughly 16,599 coworking spaces in 2018, rising to 18,287 by 2019 (Source: www.servcorp.com.au). Growth paused during the pandemic (around 19.4k in 2020–21) then surged: estimates put 28,552 spaces by 2022 and about 34,618 by 2023 (Source: www.servcorp.com.au) (Source: www.servcorp.com.au). (Some projections reach nearly 42,000 by the end of 2024 (Source: www.servcorp.com.au).) In total, coworking is now a truly global phenomenon: as of 2021, directory listings showed coworking venues in 172 countries (Source: www.coworker.com).
Even with varying estimates, most researchers agree coworking now numbers in the tens of thousands. (Statista’s figures are often cited: e.g. ~19.3k globally in 2021 (Source: www.statista.com) (Source: www.servcorp.com.au).) The share of coworking spaces is skewed toward a few regions. About one-third of all spaces are in Asia-Pacific (over 11,000 coworking centers (Source: www.corporatesuites.com), Europe holds roughly 6,850 (Source: www.corporatesuites.com), and North America (especially the US) is also a major market. In fact, the United States alone accounts for on the order of 6–7 thousand spaces (Source: allwork.space) (Source: www.corporatesuites.com). Corporate and industry reports confirm this distribution (e.g. one analysis noted Asia-Pacific >11k spaces vs. Europe ~6.85k (Source: www.corporatesuites.com) (Source: www.corporatesuites.com).
Based on recent industry data and directories, key national counts are approximately as follows:

Other countries typically have smaller coworking sectors (dozens or low hundreds of spaces each), but the industry has a presence on every continent. For example, Middle East markets like the UAE have on the order of 170–180 spaces (Source: www.corporatesuites.com), and Africa overall has “more than 250” coworking centers (Source: www.corporatesuites.com). In summary, coworking spaces number in the tens of thousands worldwide (Source: allwork.space) (Source: www.servcorp.com.au), with the United States, India, the UK, and other major economies comprising the largest shares of that total (Source: allwork.space) (Source: allwork.space).
