In October 2021, as per the report published by the Genetic and Rare Diseases (GARD) Information Center, more than 30 million people in the United States are thought to be affected by one of the more than 7,000 rare diseases that exist. Cells and genetically modified cells are "living drugs" that repair and replace damaged tissues or ill organs, which makes them fundamentally different from medications and surgery. Due to these characteristics, they are used to treat a variety of conditions.
 

A gene vector, as related to molecular biology, is a DNA molecule (often plasmid or virus) that is used as a vehicle to carry a particular DNA segment into a host cell as part of a cloning or recombinant DNA technique. Gene vectors can be applied in gene therapy to treat different diseases such as cancer, metabolic diseases, heart defects, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.
 

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak is positively impacted the gene vector market. Several COVID-19 vaccine candidates entered clinical trials also include gene vector vaccines. These vaccines are likely to be among the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use worldwide. Many of them have also received or are in the final stages of receiving approval. In January 2021, Johnson & Johnson announced favourable efficacy and safety data from its Phase 3 ENSEMBLE clinical trial using its AdVac adenoviral vector vaccine platform for COVID-19. Its single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. In addition to mRNA vaccines, the most advanced technology for COVID-19 vaccines is Ad vectors.
 

Adenoviruses are most utilized and advanced viral gene vectors developed for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. They are non-enveloped double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses with a packaging capacity of up to 7.5 kb of foreign genes. The AdVac viral vector technology could provide a potent and long-lasting humoral and cellular immune response to the body.
 

The COVID-19 viral vector vaccines are developed worldwide using non-replicating gene vectors. The immune response of these vaccines follows a similar pattern, i.e., it includes antibody-producing B cells and T cells, which seek out and destroy infected cells in the body, providing long-lasting immunity. Further research and increased investment in this field are expected to positively affect vaccine development.
 

Gene Vector Market Trends

Gene vector industry revenue growth is driven by factors such as rising prevalence of genetic disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases, development of more advanced gene editing technologies, and increasing demand for personalized medicine. Gene vectors are necessary for the delivery of gene treatments into target cells in many instances of gene therapy, with viral vectors being among the most extensively studied vectors owing to their unique benefits, such as their exceptional transduction efficiency.
 

Various products using viral vectors to deliver therapeutic genes have been approved for use against cancer, infectious diseases, and monogenic disorders. Also, several clinical tests are currently being conducted to increase their therapeutic utility. Gene delivery methods rely on retrovirus, Adenovirus (Ad), poxvirus, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), and Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) has been employed in over 66% of all gene therapy clinical trials to date. These viruses were initially used to build gene delivery systems because they are easily controlled in vitro and have been extensively investigated. Numerous characteristics of these viral vectors affect their potential for various therapeutic applications.
