Global Lithography Industry Faces a New Era Beyond ASML Dominance

For more than two decades, semiconductor lithography has stood at the center of the global chip industry, with ASML occupying an unrivaled position through its dominance in Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology. As advanced semiconductor manufacturing increasingly depends on EUV, ASML has become one of the most strategically important companies in the world, sitting at the intersection of technology, economics, and geopolitics.
