What could be the reasons that in the universe, there seem to be more ‘matters’ than ‘anti-matters', thereby leading to the existence of the Universe as it is?

The matter-antimatter asymmetry problem is frequently described by physicists as the most frustrating unresolved issue. Each particle has an anti-particle counterpart which always destroys itself in contact with the former with energy release and without a trace. All particles of antimatter disappeared after the Big Bang, but with an interesting tilt: for every trillion particles produced, only one trillion of anti-particles were produced. Thus the universe came into existence as we know it. This asymmetry hints at an inherent perspective of physics laws, at how they are working with matter and antimatter, which cannot be completely explained by the standard model of particle physics.
