    ASML Faces Revenue Risk as China Develops DUV Systems

    Question

    ASML Faces Revenue Risk as China Develops DUV Systems

    Direct answer

    ASML is navigating a bifurcated market: while it maintains a total monopoly on high-end EUV systems required for AI chips, its legacy DUV business is under direct threat from Chinese state-backed competitors. The drop in China revenue from 41% to 16% highlights the impact of both US-led export controls and local innovation. Investors are weighing whether the growth in EUV demand from TSMC and Intel can offset the structural decline of the Chinese DUV market.
