ASML says it sold nothing in Europe in 2026

Original: ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026

ASML, the Dutch maker of chipmaking equipment, says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026 and is calling on the EU to help create demand for semiconductor manufacturing. The remark highlights how little chip production capacity Europe has despite its ambitions, with virtually all of ASML's sales going to Asia and the United States. Commenters are weighing what this says about Europe's competitiveness in advanced chipmaking.

Why now: The stark admission from Europe's most important chip-equipment firm puts a spotlight on the EU's weak semiconductor demand and industrial policy.
