The analysis shows that the relationship between the level of AI adoption and growth in office employment is weak or moderate. The Nordic countries and the Benelux markets are among the most advanced in AI adoption, but slower employment growth there is primarily due to high levels of economic development and near-full employment, rather than technology replacing workers. <\/p>\n\n
A much stronger correlation can be seen between economic growth and office employment. According to Savills, the historical correlation between GDP growth in the European Union and growth in office employment is +0.825. This means that the pace of economic growth, corporate investment, and companies\u2019 overall willingness to hire remain key factors for the office market. <\/p>\n\n
At the same time, companies investing in AI do not necessarily cut back on hiring. The results of a March 2026 survey by the European Central Bank indicate that companies that make extensive use of AI are about 4% more likely to increase their workforce, and companies investing in AI are nearly 2% more likely to hire new employees than those that do not make such investments. <\/p>\n\n
\n– The debate over AI often focuses on the risk of job losses, but the data paint a more complex picture. Companies that invest in new technologies typically do so with an eye toward increasing productivity and further growth, not just to cut costs. For the office market, this means that AI is more likely to be another factor changing the way we work than a simple substitute for demand for office space. <\/em> \u2013 says Jaros\u0142aw Pilch, Head of Tenant Representation, Office Agency, Savills.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
The European labor market is currently returning to normal after a period of heightened demand for workers in 2022\u20132023. In the professional services sector, which is particularly important for the office market, the EU vacancy rate stands at 2.4%, remaining close to pre-pandemic levels. At the same time, data from Savills\u2014for example, from central London\u2014shows a record number of active inquiries from companies in the professional services sector. <\/p>\n\n
AI increases uncertainty for companies and employees, but it does not change the fundamental dynamics of the office market. In the short term, tenants will continue to make cautious decisions due to weaker economic growth and geopolitical tensions. In the long term, productivity, access to talent, and the quality of the work environment will become more important. <\/p>\n\n
\n– Artificial intelligence may change the structure of employment and the way work is organized, but it does not eliminate the need for well-designed offices. Companies will still need space for collaboration, team building, and fostering organizational culture. From the tenants\u2019 perspective, location, space flexibility, and the ability of the space to support various work models will become even more important. <\/em> \u2013 says Jaros\u0142aw Pilch, Head of Tenant Representation, Office Agency, Savills.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
Supply Challenges and Demographics<\/h3>\n\n
Savills points out that the European labor market is also facing supply constraints. Over the past decade, the number of people of working age in the EU has decreased by 4 million, while the unemployment rate remains at a record low of 5.8%. This means that even as companies adopt a more cautious approach to hiring, recruiting employees remains difficult. <\/p>\n\n
Forecast<\/h3>\n\n
According to Savills, AI will be one of the factors driving structural change in the office market, just as space consolidation, Brexit, and the pandemic have been in the past. However, this does not mean the end of demand for office space. A more likely scenario is further market polarization: companies will reduce their use of weaker and less efficient spaces, while maintaining demand for modern, well-located offices that support productivity and attract talent. <\/p>\n\n

An analysis by Savills\u2014a real estate consulting firm\u2014shows that the impact of artificial intelligence on office employment in Europe is currently less significant than public discourse suggests. The main drivers of growth in office jobs remain the state of the economy and business sentiment, rather than the extent to which companies use AI. According to Oxford Economics, office employment in Europe could grow by approximately 4% over the next ten years, which should support demand for office space. <\/p>\n"},"yoast_head":"\n
