Summary

The Global Urban Farming Market is valued at approximately USD 0.26 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 5.20% throughout the forecast period 2025-2035. Urban farming, once a grassroots movement driven by communities seeking food security, has evolved into a sophisticated ecosystem where technology, sustainability mandates, and city planning converge. As megacities expand and supply chains face persistent disruptions, urban farming has stepped in to bridge the gap between rising food demand and shrinking agricultural land. Whether deployed in towering vertical farms or compact rooftop gardens, urban farming systems are engineered to maximize output while minimizing resource intensity. Rising consumer preference for pesticide-free produce, alongside government efforts to integrate resilient food systems into urban infrastructure, continues to accelerate market growth.
The surge in hydroponics- and aquaponics-based systems across global cities has meaningfully lifted demand for modern urban farming solutions. Cities are increasingly turning toward controlled-environment agriculture to reduce vulnerability to extreme climate events, maintain year-round crop cycles, and cut transportation emissions. According to several urban agriculture initiatives, indoor modular farms have expanded rapidly across Asia, Europe, and the U.S. as startups and corporations invest in climate-adaptive technologies. Furthermore, advancements in nutrient-delivery science, IoT-enabled monitoring, AI-based crop optimization, and real-time environmental sensing are creating new opportunities for scaling high-yield urban farms. However, the intense capital investment required to establish large-scale vertical farms and the growing shift toward renewable rural agriculture may temper market expansion over the forecast period 2025-2035.

Among all farm types, commercial urban farms are expected to dominate the market, capturing the largest share due to the rapid institutionalization of high-capacity vertical farms and technologically advanced production facilities. As global grocery chains, foodservice companies, and hotels increasingly procure fresh greens from hyper-local farms, the demand for commercial-scale operations has surged dramatically. These farms consistently demonstrate the ability to meet standardized quality requirements and maintain predictable harvest cycles-attributes that are essential for modern retail supply chains. While commercial operations lead the market, the community farm segment is emerging quickly as cities adopt sustainability programs encouraging local food cultivation and citizen participation, making it a meaningful growth opportunity in the coming years.
Hydroponics currently leads in revenue contribution across growing mediums, supported by its extensive application in urban agriculture and proven cost efficiency compared to alternative systems. The hydroponic model’s ability to optimize water usage, deliver nutrients more effectively, and significantly reduce soil-borne contamination risks has made it the preferred medium in both mature economies and fast-growing urban centers. Aeroponics, however, is gaining traction as the fastest-growing segment, powered by innovations in mist-based nutrient delivery and increasing operational efficiency that surpasses traditional hydro systems. Aquaponics, though widely appreciated for its closed-loop sustainability model, maintains moderate adoption given its complex setup and higher maintenance requirements.
The key regions considered for the Global Urban Farming Market include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2025, benefiting from robust investment in vertical farm infrastructure, strong consumer preference for organic and hyper-local produce, and advanced R&D ecosystems supporting climate-adaptive agriculture. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest pace over the forecast period. Rapid urbanization, rising food imports, and government-backed smart-city initiatives in China, India, Japan, and South Korea have set the stage for large-scale urban farming deployment. Europe continues to advance urban green policies, supporting rooftop farming, community gardens, and vertical farming pilots across major cities, while the Middle East increasingly leverages controlled-environment agriculture to mitigate arid climate constraints.
