This is the end of the office as we know it – Link here – lot’s of insight into businesses that may see demand boost, some new and some old.
This Corona Virus / Covid-19 will definitely have some long term impact on us which in turn will percolate to how we live our life and how we work.
One wonders of this social distancing becomes new ingrained habit in all of us and do office space demand increases as spacing between two seats increases or we go for more work from home as real estate is expensive in city or will corporate go to New City where real estate is cheap?
Given we will still have people work in office or coming into office who are outsiders, safety, hygiene, cleanliness and sanitation can see potential demand. Think of all those professional cleaning service provider / faculty management provider. Another possibility is can Air conditioner manufacturers come up with be designed that kills germs in Air? In that case cleaning service provider may not see huge demand. AC can release certain kind of gases which are harmless to humans but kills microbes.
We already have Air purifier available, I wonder if we will see increased usage of those. Can we go Central air-conditioning way of Air-purifier?
If corporation chooses to shift more for work from home, people will need certain space demarcated inside house as work area. In City it would be expensive or Just becames additional thing you need before you apply for job. Of course people can shift to more interior of City or countryside. So creation of work area in house gives boost to ply and such construction goods. I am sure many new habits will get created and new or existing business will get boost out of it.
