ASML Is Making a Bigger Bet on Japan
plans to grow its Japan workforce by 40% to around 700 employees by 2030 as demand for advanced semiconductor production ramps up.
The expansion will support customers like TSMC and Rapidus, with Japan becoming an increasingly important part of the global chip manufacturing push.
With AI driving demand for advanced chips, ASML’s deeper presence in Japan could become an important long-term growth story.
Could Japan become a bigger growth engine for ?
Strong quarter, but the guidance and supply issues definitely give investors something to worry about.
The strong quarter is encouraging, but the supply issues and guidance are the parts I’d be watching closely going forward.
Japan could become a meaningful growth driver for ASML as TSMC, Rapidus, and AI-driven chip demand push more advanced manufacturing capacity into the country.
True, but it will depend heavily on execution especially whether Rapidus can successfully commercialize mass production at 2nm. While Japan is a solid growth catalyst, ASML's broader performance will still be heavily anchored by major CapEx cycles in Taiwan, Korea, and the US.
