The astronomical dark matter could be made of weakly interacting massive species whose mutual annihilations should produce antimatter particles and distortions in the corresponding energy spectra. The propagation of cosmic rays inside the Milky Way plays a crucial role and is briefly presented. The uncertainties in its description lead to considerable variations in the predicted primary fluxes. This point is illustrated with antiprotons. Finally, the various forthcoming projects are rapidly reviewed with their potential reach.
