ASML says it sold absolutely nothing in Europe

ASML, the Dutch chipmaking equipment giant, says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe and is calling on the European Union to help create demand for its technology. The comments highlight how Europe, despite hosting one of the semiconductor industry's most critical suppliers, has little domestic chip manufacturing capacity to buy its machines, with production concentrated in Asia and the United States.
Why now: The striking admission from a leading European tech company puts pressure on the EU amid ongoing efforts to boost European semiconductor production.
