The report illustrates how these prices have changed over the last 12 months (from Jan. 2019 to Jan. 2020) so operators and practitioners can better understand the industry’s emerging markets. By examining data from Coworker’s ever-expanding network, the report provides the most extensive comparison of global desk prices across different cities, countries, and continents to date.

Key Desk Price Index Report Findings
Coworking Insights’ findings this year have concluded that
hot desk prices dropped by 2.14% globally between 2019-2020, which demonstrates the increasing supply of new flex office spaces. The statistics give evidence of the further maturation of coworking markets as demand for shared workspace continues to grow across all continents.
On the whole, there was much less volatility in 2020 compared to price changes in 2019. For instance, the biggest continental price change was in South America, where desks prices fell 6.4%, compared to a rapid 28% increase in 2018.
In terms of the countries with the most expensive hot desk prices,
Monaco took the top spot in 2020, coming in at $397 per month.
Switzerland came in second place at $395 per month, and
Malta is third with $347 per month.
