In July we introduced our first monthly analysis of coworking space openings. This worldwide analysis included market insights and helpful information about shared spaces. The list received a lot of attention and feedback. After taking your comments into consideration, we decided to keep researching this monthly list. August's list is jampacked with added info, statistics and new tags for coworking spaces:
- New Spaces: indicates brand-new businesses.
- Expansions: indicates companies opening their second location or more.
- Chains: indicates the largest coworking chains or franchises.
We also included figures and analysis on each new opening to give you a clear idea of what’s going on in the coworking industry.
Overview
There were 189 new openings in August and about 57% of them are new businesses entering the market. This is a strong sign that while it's mostly big names, like WeWork, making the headlines, the reality is that the coworking industry is largely powered by independent business owners, many of whom are entering the market for the first time in August.
Our research also highlights 51 businesses that have successfully established their initial coworking space and have now graduated to scaling their business in multiple locations.
Trends in the United States
There are 93 announced openings in the U.S. That's a significant 37% increase compared to last month. Openings in the U.S. made up almost half of all new openings in August — coworking is heating up this summer in these states:
- California: 13 new spaces, almost twice as many as July.
- Texas: 8 new spaces, 2 more than last month.
- Colorado: 7 new spaces, quickly catching up with the trend.
While coworking has become a global phenomenon, the U.S. leads the pack with almost 50% of this month's opening announcements. Another noteworthy fact: Colorado made it to the top three coworking states — proof that coworking is spreading throughout the country. New York, with six openings this month, came in lower than July but it's still pretty high compared to other states.
International Trends
There were 18 openings in the United Kingdom during August. That's three more than July, a strong indicator that coworking is flourishing. With three of these openings located in London and the rest spread across other regions, these numbers show that coworking is a nationwide trend in the U.K.
On the other side of the globe, Asian countries are jumping on the coworking train. Vietnam, China, the Philippines, and India made up 12 new openings this month. The Philippines leads at five new openings.
