Demand for flexible workspaces to decline 28% YoY in 2023

Companies are now taking a  more measured approach to their workplace strategies, says The Instant Group.

The demand for flexible workspaces is weakening in Singapore and other markets in Asia-Pacific, data from The Instant Group showed.

For 2023, The Instant Group said demand for flexible workspaces in Singapore will likely decline by 28% YoY, with the number of flex desks dropping from above 8,000 to around 6,000.

The 2023 demand, however, is still 41% higher than 2019 levels.

“During parts of COVID-19, as well as post-pandemic, we saw a knee-jerk reaction to the need for immediate change, which resulted in high demand for flexible workspaces,” The Instant Group reported.

“The historic levels that we saw are now stabilising as companies take a more measured approach to their workplace strategies,” it added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
