📈 Canadian market projected to triple to $893M by 2030

Fresh off the annual Coworking Canada Conference, Optix shared some insightful data on Canada’s coworking industry.

Valued at $285M USD in 2023, it is projected to reach $893M by 2030, representing a 17.6% compound annual growth rate that outpaces many global markets. As of May 2025, Canada has approximately 883 coworking spaces, with flexible and shared offices now representing roughly 8% of the nation’s total office inventory, concentrated primarily in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. Hot desks average $200-400 CAD monthly while private offices range from $400-1,200+ CAD, with Toronto and Vancouver commanding the highest rates and Montreal offering more affordable options 20-30% lower than equivalent U.S. cities when converted to USD.

IWG is the largest operator with 13 new suburban locations announced in late 2023 totaling 168,000 sqft, while growth is accelerating in secondary cities like Calgary, Ottawa, Waterloo, and Halifax driven by hybrid work adoption and suburban expansion.
