(CO-)WORKING 9 TO 5 – IS THAT
THE NEW WAY TO MAKE A LIVING?
The sharing economy continues to take the world by storm, and co-working in particular has undergone striking growth
over the past few years. The Nordics are no exception, having seen a sharp increase in the amount of available co-working
locations in the region. Both local and international co-working operators have chosen to establish and expand locations in
a wide range of Nordic and Baltic cities.

Lost in space The current state of
the co-working market is shown in
the graph (1), in terms of the num-
ber of co-working locations. Stock-
holm is the clear leader in terms of
the number of locations available,
with close to 70 unique co-working
locations for customers to choose
from. The other capital cities also
perform relatively well, while inter-
estingly, co-working hubs are also
being established in cities such as
Kaunas and Malmö, which are over-
represented in terms of the number
of co-working locations relative to
their population. While the average
size of co-working areas is smaller
in Kaunas and Malmö than in Vilnius
and Gothenburg, the fact that there
are so many smaller locations availa-
ble in relatively smaller cities is
indicative of a workforce that values
flexibility, and is likely to be an asset
for these cities in the future.

Indeed, beyond the pure number of
co-working locations, the growth
over time in the amount of availa-
ble space has been marked in most
Nordic cities, and the region as a
whole. The graph (2) shows that
co-working has seen strong growth
in the Nordic major cities, going
from around 400,000 square meters
in 2017, to 550,000 in 2018, a
growth rate of 36 per cent.

Though the definition of co-working differs, Newsec defines a co-working location as an area that provides an open working space to be shared
together with other members in some form. Newsec includes co-working locations that offer hot-desking and/or dedicated desks as well as
office hotels that meet this definition in our analysis.
An operator is defined as a company that runs a co-working location. A member is defined as a company or individual that uses a co-working
location.

                                                                      3
