IWG INFO
Why This Industry?
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work was on the rise, and coworking spaces — a segment that has grown at an average of 23% per year for a decade — had rightly been pegged as the next big innovation in office life. The pandemic accelerated that evolution dramatically, even reviving the once-presumed-dead WeWork. Today, 42% of the U.S. workforce is working remotely full-time, and the global coworking space market is projected to nearly double in size, from $7.97 billion to $13.03 billion, by 2025. Coworking spaces are the future of the global work environment.

The coworking space industry is expected to double in size within five years, and International Workplace Group provides franchisees with a proven business model, unmatched brand recognition and world-class operational support.

Franchisee Testimonial
Why Now?
The coworking space industry is exploding, but it’s only just begun. As mentioned earlier, the industry is expected to nearly double in size within five years. But that also means increasing interest among prospective franchise owners. Every month a prospect waits to sign on, the field gets a little more crowded, and the best real estate gets scooped up. Right now, prospects have the opportunity to join an established brand in an industry at the cusp of exponential growth. That is a rare and valuable opportunity.
