by increasing occupancy rate and profitability.

2022, an increase of 49% from 2019.
It is estimated the amount number of coworking users has been increased from
1.74 million in 2017 to 5.1 million in 2022.

Besides, the rapid growth of coworking users is due to coworking spaces
expansion in square footage since new spaces tend to be much larger than older
