Sharing resources and living quarters is a growing trend in the global co-living market. Co-living is a contemporary type of communal living that provides reasonably priced housing options for individuals such as young professionals, students, and digital nomads. The growing cost of living in urban areas drives the demand for co-living spaces. Particularly for students and young professionals, co-living provides an affordable alternative as cities continue to grow and housing costs rise. Rent, utilities, and maintenance costs can be greatly decreased by sharing living quarters and common areas, making city living more affordable for those on a restricted budget. Co-living environments emphasize shared experiences and interactions to promote a feeling of community. Common areas such as kitchens, lounges, and coworking spaces are often advantageous to residents because they promote networking and teamwork. Since they place a higher value on relationships and experiences than material belongings, millennials and Gen Z find this appeal especially compelling. Co-living has become more popular due to the trend toward shared and sustainable consumption. With eco-friendly practices, pooled resources, and energy-efficient equipment, many of these areas are created with sustainability in mind. Co-living supports a more sustainable urban living model and is consistent with the values of environmentally conscious people by lowering individual consumption and promoting shared resource use. However, concerns about security and privacy are growing, restricting market expansion.
The single occupancy segment held the largest share of 45.63% in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.78% throughout the projection period.
Based on the occupancy, the global co-living market is categorized into single occupancy, double occupancy, triple/multi-occupancy, and others. Among these, the single occupancy segment held the largest share of 45.63% in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.78% throughout the projection period. Co-living encourages social interaction and shared experiences, but many residents—especially students and working professionals—value having a private place where they may relax work, or concentrate on personal tasks without being disturbed. Rising incomes and a desire for better living arrangements are also contributing factors to this trend, which enables people to afford single occupancy while yet taking advantage of communal amenities and a feeling of community. The post-pandemic focus on cleanliness and health has increased demand for private areas in shared accommodation, which makes single occupancy a desirable option for people looking to strike a balance between freedom and closeness.
