Overview
Belarus's patent applications stood at 276 in 2021, a decline of +41 from 2020. Belarus ranked 50th globally.
Belarus's patent applications have experienced significant fluctuations over the past three decades. The indicator peaked in 2010 at 1,759.00, a level that stands in stark contrast to the current low of 276.00 in 2021, marking a decline of nearly 85%. This downward trend places Belarus at 50th globally, trailing behind peer countries such as New Zealand, which ranked at 330.00 in 2021. Since 1993, the indicator has experienced a consistent decline, with the exception of a brief surge in the early 2000s. This sustained downturn suggests that Belarus's innovation ecosystem may be struggling to maintain momentum, potentially due to limitations in research and development investment or a lack of favorable business environment. A significant increase in government support for research and development, as well as improved business regulations, could potentially alter this trend by stimulating domestic innovation and attracting foreign investment.
