    ASML Faces Revenue Risk as China Develops Domestic DUV Systems

    Question

    ASML Faces Revenue Risk as China Develops Domestic DUV Systems

    Direct answer

    The emergence of a domestic Chinese DUV competitor marks a significant shift in the semiconductor equipment landscape. While ASML still holds a monopoly on EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography required for sub-5nm chips, the loss of the DUV market in China removes a major cash flow engine that previously accounted for nearly half of revenue. Investors are weighing the growth of EUV adoption against the structural decline of the China business.
