▼ Background of the Launch
While hybrid work has taken root following the COVID-19 pandemic, a challenge has become apparent for business people on the go: "Even if a web conference is suddenly scheduled, I can't immediately find a place where I can talk safely." The demand for work boxes in Space Market has expanded 48 times (*) over 5 years, compared to conference rooms which grew 2.4 times over the same period.
The number of work box uses on Space Market has increased 48 times in 5 years.
In an actual user survey, 47.1% responded, "A web conference was scheduled during my travel time, and I needed a place to talk online," highlighting the reality of struggling to secure a place between trips. Furthermore, when choosing a space, "closeness to the station/good accessibility" (39.1%) is emphasized the most, showing that business people demand private spaces that can be used immediately even on the move, and where there is no anxiety about the communication environment.
To meet these needs, Space Market launched the new work box brand "SpemaBOX," which meets independent standards. For this launch, a Wi-Fi speed (*2) that allows comfortable use even during web conferences was set as a certification standard. In addition, the 63 spaces nationwide born as the new brand this time have the favorable location condition of being an average of a 2.5-minute walk from the nearest station, and a maximum of a 7-minute walk, so you can use them with peace of mind even for sudden web conferences while out. By developing a safe and secure usage environment in the business scene, we aim to improve convenience for many business people.
