From CNBC:

The total value of private equity deals in Asia Pacific fell to its lowest since 2014, with Japan seeing a 183% jump in deal value in 2023. Despite declining investors, private equity returns remain attractive. Recovery timing is uncertain, but disruptive technologies like generative AI hold promise, according to Bain & Company’s report.

Buyouts accounted for 48% of total deal value in Asia Pacific, exceeding growth deals for the first time since 2017. Bain & Company highlights Japan, India, and Southeast Asia as favorable markets for private equity investment in the next 12 months, based on Preqin’s 2023 investor survey.
