Key Market Trends
Increasing Demand for Co-Working Spaces to Support Growth
The co-working office spaces have been significantly growing over the years. In 2021, Beijing and Guangzhou cities led the sector by offering many co-working spaces. Beijing remained a major location in the country, with most businesses moving to co-working and shared offices. Beijing was followed by Wuhan, the second-largest co-working market in China with shared offices, attracting a wide range of tenants, including major corporates, government organizations, and start-ups.
Most freelancers, start-ups, and small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) are adopting co-working spaces. These spaces provide top features and facilities such as fast internet services, 24/7 access to office space, meeting rooms, and furnished and unfurnished spaces. Serviced offices (creative and classic) contribute most of the share in the co-working office space sector.
Even though China's SME sector is growing at a moderate rate, the rising cost of business operations, including the high rental cost of commercial properties, is influencing many upcoming small businesses to look for cost-effective alternatives. This factor created new opportunities for co-working service providers to accommodate small business owners. As a result, China is witnessing a massive boom in the co-working culture, with many co-working spaces coming up across the country.

The Growing Millennial Population
Millennials (currently aged between 20 and 37) are changing the way the world works and demanding new ways of working. The Chinese real estate sector is focusing on the changing work culture.
Co-working spaces are a new trend of working that emerged recently. Co-working spaces are a shared environment where people doing different kinds of jobs can work together and separately within the same space. The spaces are often very urban and stylish and are far removed from some of the more severe 'cubicle farms' of recent times. They allow for freedom, flexibility, and a wide range of work environments.
More millennials are joining the workforce, and their presence requires a transformational shift in the workplace perspective. There are 14,000 operational co-working spaces globally. By the end of this year, around 1.7 million people (mostly millennials) will likely take advantage of the new working conditions offered by co-working spaces.
According to industry sources, as of 2021, there were more than 350 millennials in China aged between 25 and 54, representing the new workforce with its bold new ideas.
Competitive Landscape
The Chinese co-working office spaces market is moderately fragmented, with the presence of many international and national players.
