ASML says it sold absolutely nothing in Europe in 2026

ASML, the Dutch chip-equipment maker, says it has sold absolutely nothing in Europe so far in 2026, despite Europe's push to build domestic semiconductor capacity. The company is calling on the European Union to help create actual demand for chips manufacturing, arguing that subsidies and policy ambitions alone have not translated into equipment purchases from European customers.

Why now: The stark contrast between Europe's chip ambitions and ASML's zero European sales highlights concerns about the EU's semiconductor strategy.
