A patent is a government authority or license, which is often granted for an invention or innovation of a product or process that generally provides a new technical solution to a problem. In case of microwave antenna, several patents have been provided. John Louis Collins from China holds the patent for microwave antennas. Patents provide certification of technologies, which reduces the information asymmetry in the market. However, providing a monopoly to companies through patents can result in increasing prices.

GDP

GDP is a critical indicator used to measure the size and performance of an economy. A country’s gross domestic product (GDP) rises, as a result of the rising use of microwave antennas in various industries including telecom, military, and others. The demand for military antennas is predicted to increase with growth in the defense industry during the forecast period. Some countries across the globe have experienced a remarkable increase in defense spending.

Rising surveillance activity for security and a continuous surge in defense expenditure in numerous countries drive market growth during the forecast period. For Instance, according to World Population Review, in 2020, the total world military expenditure was about USD 1.9 trillion. The US has the highest military spending across the globe. In 2020, the US spent USD 778 billion on the military, more than the next nine top-spending countries combined. 

China follows the US by spending USD 252 billion, and India by spending USD 72.9 billion. The telecom industry has increased primarily, due to favorable regulatory conditions, increased accessibility, low prices, and the introduction of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) that changes subscriber consumption patterns and expands 3G & 4G coverage. For Instance, during 2020 to 2021, the telecom industry contributed 6% to India's gross domestic product (GDP).
