さらに、2002年においては、111件（前年比▲2.6%）の対日M&Aがあり、具体的には、東芝によるマイクロンテクノロジー（米国）への半導体製造設備の売却や、セイコーインスツルメンツによるビーオーシー・エドワーズ（イギリス）への真空ポンプ事業の売却等前年に引き続き日本企業の事業見直しに係る案件があった一方で、ウォルマート（米国）による西友への資本参加や、ロシュ（スイス）による中外製薬の買収等流通・製薬業界再編の本格化を進展させるような事例も目立つ等、日本市場における外資企業のプレゼンスは日々高まってきている。例文帳に追加

Moreover, in 2002 there were 111 M&A cases (-2.6 percent year-on-year) in Japan. In concrete terms, there were cases involving Japanese corporations reexamining their businesses, as there had been in the year before, such as Toshiba selling its semiconductor manufacturing equipment to Micron Technology (US) and Seiko Instruments Inc. selling its vacuum pump business to BOC Edwards (UK). Meanwhile, other cases that captured attention were those that triggered the full-scale restructuring of Japanese distribution and pharmaceutical industries such as capital participation in Seiyu by Wal-Mart (US) and the acquisition of Chugai Pharmaceutical by Roche (Switzerland). Thus, foreign companies are increasing their presence in Japanese markets day by day. - 経済産業省
