For Japan’s private equity (PE) industry, venture capitalists began to emerge in the 1970s, and buyout funds started to appear in the 1990s. Although there has been a period of sluggish activity following the shock of the Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy, the total amount earned from the PE industry worldwide has been steadily increasing in recent years. There has also been an increase in the number of merger and acquisition (M&A) deals. The role that the PE industry plays in our society is changing with the times.

The scope of this industry will continue to grow going forward into the future. The judgment is that the number of M&A cases will continue to increase in line with the need for business succession, business restructuring, and overseas expansion. Recent years have seen investments made through university venture capitals and the overall foundation of the industry is also expanding.
