Serviced Office Leasing in the US industry analysis

Serviced office leasing servicers provide businesses with workspace renting and leasing options, including fully furnished offices, virtual offices and conference and meeting rooms. Its end users range from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, particularly those within the digital services sectors. Prior to 2020, operators such as WeWork benefited from the rising cultural popularity of coworking. However, COVID-19 adversely affected servicers' performance in 2020 as social distancing concerns and mass unemployment forced establishment closures. Nonetheless, due to strong performance early in the period, revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 4.2% over the past five years, and is expected to reach $3.6 billion through the end of 2023. This includes an expected spike of 3.9% in 2023 alone.Prior to 2020, flexible work environments embraced wider cultural acceptance. While start-ups were the first to experiment with the flexibility of leased office space and coworking, Fortune 500 companies started exploring serviced offices' operational flexibility and cost-effectiveness. While the greater prevalence of remote work arrangements bolstered serviced office leasing demand prior to 2020, the pandemic wrecked operations as companies and freelancers already in offices moved to their own homes. This unfavorable trend diminished and reversed altogether by July 2021 as social distancing measures were eased and core markets rebounded. Nonetheless, this large-scale volatility in the economy and office dependence caused profit to shrink through the end of 2023.Through the end of 2028, revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% to an estimated $4.1 billion. Operators are expected to benefit from growth in telecommuting and nomadic work styles. An added emphasis among large corporate clients selecting coworking spaces is poised to provide a substantial avenue for further growth. However, due to rising demand, more operators are expected to enter the marketplace, placing downward pressure on rental rates. These trends will cause profit growth to be constrained by heightened competition within the industry. Nonetheless, revenue is expected to recover and regain a steady pace of growth as the economy embraces digitization.

Trends and Insights

  • Acceleration of online services heightened demand for serviced office lessors. As more companies continue to adopt flexible work requirements, it lowered the need for traditional office space.
  • Continued adoption of remote work heightens appeal of combined membership plans. Many clients looking to maximize cost efficiency will look to purchase a combined membership plan when renting a serviced office space.
  • Densely populated areas provide a lucrative customer base for establishments. Regions that house significant metropolitan centers will have a higher appeal for establishments looking to secure a diverse array of customers.
  • Offering affordable, budget-friendly pricing enhances internal competition. As smaller lessors continue to enter the market, they will look to provide the most affordable pricing for their leases, which influences downstream prices.
