Converging tailwinds set stage for Japan's private markets to expand
Our first-ever Japan Private Capital Breakdown, available in English and Japanese, unpacks the state of PE and VC dealmaking in the world's third-largest economy, where private markets may be entering a period of high growth.
  • The largely stable PE dealmaking environment got a boost this year with the nearly $15 billion buyout of Toshiba. PE firms have also been snapping up smaller companies whose aging leaders often lack succession plans.

  • VC has experienced steady growth in recent years, thanks in part to support from the government and large domestic corporations.

  • At a macro level, foreign investors may be attracted by the weakening yen and low interest rates—which make deals cheaper—as they look for opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region outside of China.

At the same time, incumbent Beyond Meat has cut costs and Burger King has pressed pause on developing new varieties, signaling the potential limits of consumer demand for sustainable proteins.

Foodtech deal value slipped for the eighth consecutive quarter to $2 billion. But on the flip side, fresh opportunities are emerging in personalized nutrition, food assembly robots and restaurant waste reduction.
