Investing.com -- ASML (AS:ASML), a prominent computer chip equipment manufacturer, has reported a decrease in customer demand in 2024, due in part to uncertainties over export controls. The details were revealed in the company’s annual report, which was published on Wednesday.
The report indicated that multiple factors, including concerns over technological sovereignty and export controls, have led to a more cautious approach by some customers, resulting in a reduction in capital expenditure.
The U.S. has been implementing successive waves of restrictions on exports to China, which has had a significant impact on ASML.
The company further noted that an increasing number of entities in China, which made up 36% of its sales in the previous year, are now under these restrictions.
ASML also highlighted that it is facing ongoing risks due to these increasingly intricate restrictions and potential countermeasures.
