Market Analysis.
We were also unable to provide the global market size for the gig economy and the remote work economy. Our research journey revealed that the remote work economy includes various industries and we have attempted to get the market size for the different segments. In the next phase of research, the team could provide additional insights that would be beneficial in providing an overall estimate.
Remote Work Economy
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global remote workforce stood at
16.4%
. In 2020, this percentage increased to
72%.
According to Global Workplace Analytics, if half the population that wanted to work remotely (
79%
) were given the chance to do so, it would have an economic benefit of
$700 billion
a year.
According to Owl Labs, about
52%
of the global workforce have the opportunity to work from home at least once a week, while
68%
can do so once a month. The key constraint here is that globally,
44%
of companies do not allow/accommodate/offer remote working opportunities
The remote work economy consists of other markets/industries. For example, one industry that has seen tremendous growth is the global remote desktop software market size. In 2019, the value stood at
1.53 billion
. This market size is projected to reach
$4.69 billion
by 2027.

Another industry directly impacted by the increase in remote working due to COVID-19 is the global collaboration software market. In 2019, the market size was
