A prediction market on Manifold Markets estimates a 56.45% probability that China will develop a domestic version of ASML's EUV lithography machine by 2030 (source: Manifold Markets). While this is a speculative consensus rather than a concrete engineering milestone, it reflects a growing geopolitical risk perception around ASML's monopoly on EUV technology. If China succeeds, it could disrupt ASML's market position and shift the semiconductor supply chain. However, the timeline and feasibility remain uncertain, and ASML's current EUV dominance is intact. This signal is early-stage and low confidence.
