According to Transparency Market Research’s latest research report on the global flexible workspace market for the historical period 2018–2019 and the


forecast period 2020–2030, usage of latest infrastructural capabilities in flexible workplaces or corporate houses by enterprises, and increasing awareness about flexible workspaces among enterprises are factors expected to boost the global flexible workspace market during the forecast period 

Increase in Demand for Premium Infrastructure in Flexible Workplaces or Corporate Houses 

Demand for premium commercial workplaces among enterprises is increasing due to smart office designs, network and communication channels, and prime location office spaces, which helps boost mobility and flexibility of a company

Demand for flexible workplaces is increasing in developing countries due to rising number of small & medium size startups and expansion of major companies at the global level. Real­estate solution providers are offering premium design offices with advanced technology office equipment and devices, and offer support services to enhance customer experience.

Companies providing services are also collaborating with commercial infrastructure owners to provide corporate houses in prime locations, which is also estimated to fuel the demand for flexible workspaces during the forecast period

Companies are facing high operational cost for each employee, which reduces revenues against investments in office premises and infrastructural services. Flexible workspaces and co­working services also lead to cultural clash of companies, as several companies use the same office space at the same time.
