Drug companies that manufacture ketamine are expected to lead profits in the category, according to an Anesthesia Drug Market study. Ketalar, distributed by JHP Pharmaceuticals, is currently the only branded version of the drug offered on the market.

Ketalar is expected to maintain a high profile in the market over the next five years, according to the study, but could see a drop in sales due to an increasing demand for less expensive generic counterparts.
