The Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASMI (ASM International) said on Wednesday (April 26) that compared with previous years, more business will come from China this year.
According to Reuters, ASMI Chief Financial Officer Paul Verhagen was asked by analysts on Wednesday and how much the company's business will grow in China this year.
The Dutch government is planning to join the ranks of the United States to implement new restrictions on exports of semiconductor technology to protect national security.However, ASMI said that the impact of these restrictions on the company's export of old products or "mature nodes" is "very small".
ASMI's financial report released on Tuesday (April 25) shows that the total order of the company in the first quarter of this year fell by 647.4 million euros (about 955 million yuan), but the revenue exceeded the expected 710 million euros.
Another Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer, Asum Holdings (ASML) also said last week that after the decline in the first quarter, the company is expected to rise in China in 2023.Because Chinese chip manufacturers have begun to turn to buy old tools that are not restricted by the United States.Asley believes that although the Dutch government will introduce new restrictions, China's demand is still strong.
