How many Coworking spaces in the world?

[Heba Fadeel]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have a tentative number of how many Coworking spaces are there in the world and in how many countries.. I know there is a directory with the Coworking spaces in each region and country, but I just thought it would be easier if someone knew a tentative figure, rather than counting ! :)

Thanks,

Heba

The last numbers I show are:

250 U.S.
150 Europe

But I'm sure that's changing even as we speak . . .

Someone else might have something more recent.

Cheers!

Roughly 600 is the last count I'm aware of. We did a U.S. count last
summer that led to the roughly 250 number here. Our post on this is
at: http://www.smallbizlabs.com/2010/09/over-250-us-coworking-facilities.html

The global count, from Deskmag, can be found at:
http://genylabs.typepad.com/coworking_labs/2010/10/over-600-hundred-global-coworking-facilities.html

Our current global estimate is around 750, but this is just an
estimate based on anecdotal data. Since our work last summer we've
seen a lot of new spaces come online in the US and elsewhere. We will
be doing a formal count again next summer.
