Despite upgrading its sales forecast for 2026, ASML stated that its production capacity will not be able to fully meet customer demand for its chip-printing tools in 2027 and 2028, highlighting that hardware supply chain bottlenecks remain a critical constraint on industry expansion. CEO Christophe Fouquet noted that the company is currently studying ways to further expand capacity, as customer discussions and strong booking interest have already extended well beyond the near term, with buyers inquiring about delivery arrangements for 2029 and 2030.
