As of May 26, 2026, a prediction market on Manifold Markets indicates a 56.45% probability that China will develop a domestic version of ASML's EUV lithography machine by January 1, 2030 (source). This single data point suggests growing market sentiment that Chinese domestic EUV development may succeed within the decade, posing a long-term competitive threat to ASML's monopoly. However, prediction markets are speculative and not direct evidence of technological progress. The signal is low confidence due to reliance on a single, probabilistic source without corroborating news or official statements.
