This lasts years, Spain has stood out in the euro zone for being one of the countries with the most collaborative economy welcome and acceptance. Every year more companies dedicated to this sector are born, exceeding a percentage of 1% from the national GDP since 2019. It is expected that by 2025, at the European territory, the collaborative economy will generate more than 300,000 million euros at year.


What is the concept of sharing economy?

The collaborative economy, or sharing economy, includes all those digital platforms that connect providers with customers (it is often called peer-to-peer, P2P) to facilitate an exchange of goods and services. Although both the concept and its application began relatively recently, currently this type of service moves billions of euros and we all use companies in this sector; Airbnb, Netflix, Uber, Wallapop and hundreds that are already implemented in our day to day .


What types of models are there?

To get even more used to the idea, we would like to explain the types and different relationships that may exist in this sector and the companies that use it.

1. Peer-to-peer (P2P). This is type of shared economy based in customer-customer relation, also known as «peer to peer », where the two beneficiaries are private consumers. Like Airbnb, in the hospitality sector.
2. Business-to-consumer (B2C). This type is based in a company-client relation, the company offers on demand what the client wants. Examples of this model are Amazon or Netflix.
3. Business-to-business (B2B). This relationship, also on an equal basis, is between company and company. In Spain there is the example of Spacebee, a company that offers workspaces to other companies.

In these years we have seen how many services and sectors have been revolutionized thanks to these models and this type of economy. Currently, in the construction and renovation sector, it is happening with Manofix, a digital platform that connects companies and / or individuals with professionals in the sector.
Manofix is establishing itself in Spain improving the sector. Getting companies and individuals to hire the professionals they need quickly and easily. Thanks to this digital platform, in addition to the variety, it simplifies and provides clarity to see and compare prices, professionals (through evaluations and profiles), delivery times and any aspect that you want to know. It is also a tool and a great opportunity for all construction professionals who can now apply for hundreds of jobs and clients with just one click, having their profile on Manofix.
