Psilocybin is Projected to Become A $3B Industry in Five Years — Or As Big as the Current Ketamine Industry
The psilocybin industry is on the rise, and it’s hard not to notice. Many experts predict it will grow into a $3 billion industry over the next five years. But as the psilocybin market gains momentum, we’d like to point out that ketamine is a $3 billion market…today — which itself is projected to more than double in size over the next five years.

What’s Behind the Growth of Psilocybin?
Psilocybin has been making waves, particularly due to positive results from clinical trials. It’s garnering attention for its potential to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression and PTSD. As more states move toward legalization, the future looks promising for psilocybin. Some projections suggest the market could one day match the size of the ketamine industry. While this speaks to psilocybin’s potential, it’s important to remember that these projections are based on the hope for growth—not where the industry stands now.

Industry | Current Market Value | Projected Market Value | Key Drivers of Growth |
---|---|---|---|
Ketamine | $3.1 billion | $6.7 billion | Increased FDA approval, growing mental health awareness, acceptance in mainstream medicine |

Ketamine’s Strong Market Position
Unlike psilocybin, the ketamine market is already a multi-billion-dollar industry. Currently valued at $3 billion, it’s established itself as a leader in mental health treatment. The projected growth is equally impressive. Experts predict the ketamine industry will grow to $7 billion in the next five years, fueled by the growing acceptance of its benefits in treating depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Ketamine’s clinical track record and its FDA-approved status have cemented its place as a frontrunner in psychedelic-assisted therapy.
