ASML plans to raise equipment prices
- ASML plans to raise prices
- TSMC is unhappy with the decision
- High demand for equipment
The increase in demand for chip manufacturing equipment amid supply constraints may lead to rising prices. This trend is observed at various stages of the chip production chain.
ASML, the leading manufacturer of chip production equipment, plans to raise prices on its products. This information has caused extreme dissatisfaction at TSMC, which is one of ASML's largest clients.
ASML representatives do not comment on this information, but the company has previously stated that there is high demand for its products and orders are in place until the end of 2028. This suggests that the company has the ability to raise prices.
ASML has also revised its annual revenue forecast, increasing it to a range of 43 to 45 billion. This decision may be due to high demand for chip manufacturing equipment and supply constraints.
The price increase of ASML equipment may negatively impact chip manufacturers, including TSMC. This could particularly affect Chinese clients who may purchase less expensive equipment for DUV lithography.
