Industry Analysis
ASML’s push beyond 90 EUV units annually will unblock the 3nm-and-below race for TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, but simultaneously accelerate High-NA EUV commercialization under intense pressure. While foundries in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China gain short-term leverage, prolonged U.S. export controls compel ASML to shift its mainland China model toward hybrid 'hardware + remote diagnostics,' likely inflating compliance costs by 15–20%. Nikon and Canon remain marginal in lithography, yet Tokyo Electron is mounting asymmetric competition via integrated track-EUV solutions. Over the next 18 months, AI chip demand will mask weakness in mature nodes; however, by 2027, a maturing domestic DUV ecosystem in China could trigger a structural revenue shift for ASML—premium segments retained, mid-tier eroded.
