ASML expects a supply shortfall in 2027 and 2028 despite planned 30% annual capacity increases, signalling strong AI-driven chip demand. Price hikes starting in 2027 will affect parts and equipment, with full impact in 2028.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

ASML’s capacity will not meet AI chip demand despite expansions, forcing founders in chip manufacturing to reconsider supply dependencies and price models this year. Price hikes will squeeze margins, so lock in contracts early or shift to less exposed suppliers.
