ASML, the Dutch maker of chipmaking equipment, has said it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026, despite Europe being its home region. The company is calling on the European Union to help create demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing, pointing out that chip production capacity and investment are concentrated elsewhere, mainly Asia and the United States.
Why now: ASML's stark comment highlights Europe's lack of chip manufacturing demand and puts pressure on the EU amid wider debates over semiconductor sovereignty.
