  • 由於自由職業形勢的不斷發展以及該地區人們對自由職業工作的興趣日益成長,多家主要供應商正在推出自由職業平台解決方案。例如,2023 年 8 月,Fiverr International Ltd. 發布了全新的 Fiverr。宣布推出全新 Fiverr Pro,這是一套針對中型和大型企業的新業務解決方案,並首次推出由神經網路支援的 Fiverr Neo,以解決人才與客戶匹配的複雜任務。除了與Fiverr Enterprise、Fiverr Certified、Amazon Ads 和Stripe 等品牌的合作之外,這些產品的推出都支持人們在日益互聯的世界中進行協作,在這個世界中,與世界級人才的聯繫是企業的當務之急。這是Fiverr 努力改變的一部分我們的工作方式。

Freelance Platforms - Market - IMG1

The freelance platforms market size is estimated at USD 6.56 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 14.17 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 16.66 % during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Key Highlights

  • The key drivers driving the market's growth are the gig economy's growth, the increasing need for flexible workforce solutions, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Freelancing is growing because of the rapid shifts that have taken place in the global economy. The rise of digital work platforms and online talent marketplaces have initially commoditized access to top-caliber talent, and the growth in remote work has also convinced employers and employees alike that work can be done from anywhere. Such shifts are creating demand for freelance platforms market worldwide.
  • The gig economy's growth is among the key drivers of demand for the freelance platforms market. The gig economy, characterized by short-term and freelance work arrangements, has experienced remarkable growth in recent years. As the remote work trend is growing, more people and businesses are increasingly connecting to freelance platforms to find clients and projects.
  • In a country like India, the need for freelancers has reached a new peak as companies from various industries, such as Technology, Professional Services, Healthcare, Banking, and Financial Services, are hiring gig workers to fulfill their talent requirements. The trend of freelancing and independent work among professionals has been increasing continuously, likely contributing to the growth of freelance platforms.
  • However, lack of trust and uncertainty about payments often lead to disputes between freelancers and clients, undermining the platform's reliability. Client's hesitation to use freelance platforms due to concerns about payment security and the quality of work delivered is challenging the growth of the market, impacting trust and user confidence on these platforms.
  • The pandemic resulted in many business closures, and those that remained open had to adapt to new ways of working. This led to a surge in demand for freelance talent as businesses were required to hire freelancers to complete various tasks remotely. As a result, the freelance platforms market proliferated during the pandemic.
  • Furthermore, the pandemic also accelerated the adoption of freelancing platforms by all types of businesses. Businesses that have never used freelancing platforms before were compelled to do so, and they quickly realized the benefits of using freelance talent. The COVID-19 pandemic offered professionals a different perspective on work and careers, leading many to pursue freelancing.

Freelance Platforms Market Trends

Services segment is likely to grow at a higher pace

  • The increasing demand for specialized skills is driving businesses to turn to freelance platforms as a strategic solution, which provides a marketplace where companies can find skilled professionals required for various business functions for short-term projects. As industries continuously evolve with different business needs, the role of freelance platforms becomes essential for these businesses.
  • The increasing need for a diversified set of skills to compete in the ever-changing digital world is prompting businesses to seek out experts using freelance platforms, where a global pool of professionals with the most demanding skills, including web development, programming, graphic design, content writing, etc., are available.
  • Upwork Global Inc., a freelance marketplace, reported the most in-demand skills that businesses are expected to seek from skilled professionals in 2023 are primarily related to technology, marketing, customer service & admin support, accounting & consulting, design & creative, and others. Also, many professionals are re-evaluating their priorities, exploring new ways of working, and redefining ways to have a fulfilling career, especially in light of variability across the labor market.
  • As freelance platforms are empowering businesses to access a diverse talent pool of niche experts, adapt to digital transformation, and find cost-effective solutions for projects, the increasing demand for specialized skills is driving the growth of freelance platforms worldwide. As the need for specialized expertise continues to rise across industries, freelance platforms market growth is anticipated to grow, connecting businesses with the precise skills required for growth.

North America Expected Dominate Market with Major Share

  • North America is expected to hold a major market share due to factors like changes in work culture, business strategies, balanced work culture, etc. The work culture in North America is balanced with hourly rates. It provides the workers with more time to work on freelance projects than the monthly salary with many advantages, such as the freedom to choose the projects, quote their prices, flexibility, and the ability to work from anywhere.
  • According to Upwork's Freelance Forward Survey, a study of 3,000 professional freelancers, 39% of America's workforce (roughly 60 million Americans) did freelance work in 2022, an increase of 13% compared to 2021. At a time when the economy and labor market are as uncertain as ever, Upwork found that in 2022, American freelancers accounted for roughly USD 1.34 trillion in annual wages, an increase of USD 50 billion over 2021. This increase was primarily driven by professionals seeking alternative options to the traditional job model.
  • With the continuously evolving freelance landscape and the rising inclination of people towards freelance work in the region, several key vendors are introducing freelance platform solutions. For instance, in August 2023, Fiverr International Ltd. Introduced the all-new Fiverr Pro, a new business solutions suite for mid and large-size businesses, the debut of its neural network-powered Fiverr Neo to tackle the complex task of matching talent with customers. These launches, in addition to Fiverr Enterprise, Fiverr Certified, and partnerships with brands such as Amazon Ads and Stripe, are all part of an effort by Fiverr to change the way people collaborate in an increasingly connected world where connecting with world-class talent is a business imperative.
  • Freelancing is becoming more and more popular as a career option for U.S. professionals, particularly those seeking more flexibility and control. It's also a good sign that younger generations are embracing freelance work increasingly. In 2022, 43% of all Gen-Z professionals and 46% of millennial professionals freelanced. The rise of influencer content is also attracting younger people to freelance. Such growth in freelance activities by professionals in the United States is driving market growth in the region.

Key players in the market include Upwork Global Inc., Fiverr International Ltd., People Per Hour Ltd., Skyword Inc., and others.
