International Workplace Group (IWG), the world’s largest hybrid workplace platform, has announced a significant expansion in 2025, adding 1,132 new locations globally. This expansion reflects the growing demand for flexible workspaces, with Asia Pacific contributing over 20% of the new centre signings, totalling 254 locations.
The surge in flexible workspace demand is driven by businesses seeking cost-effective solutions amidst geopolitical uncertainties. IWG’s strategy focuses on managed partnership agreements, allowing the company to convert various buildings into successful operations without heavy capital investment. This approach aligns with the increasing preference for hybrid working models, as traditional long-term office leases face declining interest.
In Singapore, flexible work arrangements are becoming essential, with 76% of employees now having access to such options. This shift is supported by recent policy discussions emphasising inclusive workplaces and flexible work support. IWG is capitalising on this trend by expanding its presence in Singapore’s heartlands, including areas like Tampines, Balestier, Paya Lebar, and Novena.
Mark Dixon, IWG’s Founder and CEO, highlighted the record year for revenue and network expansion, stating, “2025 was a record year for both revenue and network expansion, reaching record revenue and experiencing our strongest network expansion to date.” With over 5,000 locations in more than 120 countries, IWG continues to lead the hybrid working sector, which is projected to grow by 600% by 2030.
