The drug & gene delivery devices are the types of medical equipment that are primarily designed and used to operate the delivery of the drugs and genes for the treatment of the disease. The drug and gene delivery system are applied for the treatment of different disease caused from bacterial infections, malignant tumors, viral invasions, external chemical toxins, and endogenous genetic defects. Drug delivery systems are constantly improving as well as changing choices of the patient. For example, earlier hormone replacement therapy was prescribed as pills, however, it is prescribed in as vaginal rings, patches, gel, prefilled syringes, and sprays. The main purpose of preparing several types of delivery systems is to improve the ease of use. The delivery system is also developed based on the factors such as price, aesthetics of the delivery systems, and amount of API. The recent advancements in the delivery system are development of auto-injectors, development of biopharmaceutical classification systems (BCS) class II oral dosage form drugs, presence of improved implants in customized sizes & shapes, and development of advanced pulmonary devices such as adaptive aerosol delivery and smartcard.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the whole world due to travel restrictions, nationwide lockdowns, and high cases of COVID-19 across the globe. This pandemic opened new opportunities for the drug delivery market as the research & development activities increased and key market players started investing to find new delivery systems to comfort the patients and give better results.
