The growing diversification and modernization of the economy boosts the Middle East coworking space market during the forecast period.

Middle East Co-Working Space Market size was valued at USD 274.6 million in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 1053.1 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 21.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to new research by Next Move Strategy Consulting. The coworking space market in the region is driven by the ongoing diversification and modernization of the economy, accompanied by a notable shift in workplace preferences. Increasingly, individuals are embracing flexible work arrangements and pursuing independent projects, leading to a rising demand for coworking spaces.

This trend reflects the need for convenient and cost-effective workspaces that cater to the evolving needs of professionals in the region. Furthermore, the expansion of international operators like IWG, as seen in their recent openings in the UAE, adds momentum to this growth trajectory. The availability of amenities such as private offices, meeting rooms, and creative workspaces enhances the appeal of coworking spaces, making them attractive options for individuals seeking modern workspace solutions.

Moreover, the coworking space market in the Middle East is propelled by the surge of the gig economy, significantly increasing the demand for such shared workspaces. This trend is exemplified by IWG's strategic initiative to introduce 19 new coworking spaces across Egypt, Oman, and the UAE. By collaborating with property owners, IWG aims to solidify its position in key markets, thereby facilitating further expansion in the coworking space sector.

The expansion efforts of international giants like IWG not only address the growing need for hybrid work models but also signify a broader trend of industry consolidation and growth within the coworking landscape. These developments underscore the rising popularity and relevance of coworking spaces as adaptable workspace solutions in the dynamic business environment of the Middle East.

Nevertheless, cybersecurity threats persist as a significant barrier to the widespread adoption of coworking spaces, especially for businesses tasked with managing sensitive data. These collaborative work environments, dependent on shared technology infrastructure, are vulnerable to various threats that could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches.

This concern is particularly alarming for companies entrusted with preserving client confidentiality and proprietary information, as the communal nature of these spaces exacerbates the risks associated with network security, physical access, and device vulnerabilities. Addressing these cybersecurity challenges is essential to instill trust and ensure the secure operation of coworking spaces, particularly for businesses managing sensitive data.

Alternatively, the incorporation of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) into coworking spaces presents significant opportunities for expanding the coworking space market. These immersive technologies have the potential to revolutionize remote collaboration, allowing individuals to engage actively in virtual meetings, collaborative projects, and training sessions with an enhanced sense of physical presence. By eliminating geographical constraints and enhancing the interactive aspect of remote work, AR and VR are expected to make coworking spaces equipped with these technologies highly appealing.
