Nowhere near 1% in my experience. Also, even in research arms, many masters level students are accepted (though it really depends on how low level the research activity is at that particular company, so this is going to vary wildly among different companies)



So what happens to the rest of the PhD students? Or are there just not many students who go on to get PhDs?


They come to America? For what it's worth, I know several PhDs from Japan working here in the SF Bay Area, all in biotech.
